Default Is it my Blazer or me?

I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer 4x4 LS. I have installed a 2" Rough Country T-bar/Shackle Lift. I have replaced the upper Ball Joints, installed new CV axles, Polyurethane bushings, and 4 new Rough Country Shocks. I am running 15x8 Corvette Ralleys with 31x10.5x15 Uniroyal Laredo tires. I marked the T-Bar key adjustment bolts when I removed the stock keys and installed them on the new keys. I cranked them up and the ride was significantly harsh. So I backed the bolts out evenly to less than stock position. The front still sits highand rides rough. Does the Sway Bar require longer end-links? Or is this just me not taking into consideration the sacrifices of lifted trucks. Thanks

The RC lift uses the new tbar keys, which give you the ability to crank the bars past what is allowed with stock parts. So even with the less than stock position, you're still actually lifted, which kills the ride. Lifting with the torsion bars makes a harsh ride, no real way around that..
