Have a look around this section and see if you find the answers you seek.

Do you have specific questions about either the BL or the SL?

Weak torsion bars is the most common problem.

your going to put shocks on it to raise the front end 2in because you dont wana have problems with adjusting the torsion bars, its not the torsion bars that cause problems its the altered suspension angles that do. if you lift the front end using stock components your going to have these problems regardless how you do it, so your really just wasting your money on the shocks, just turn each torsion bar bolt in 8 turns and you'll be at about 1.5in.
