The suspension shop told me my torsion bars were good. And i have not done any thing to the rear as of yet. I measured from the tire tread to the edge of both fenders and i got a three inch difference.

How many leaves are their in the springs? Someone may have installed heavier springs (possibly 4dr springs maybe??)...

Here's a picture showing the springs on my old Bravada...


Only 4 leafs, not 5. Sounds like that is the source of your added height out back. Now that is on a 4dr, but you'd think there'd be more weight on the back end of a 4dr than on a 2dr...

IIRC the 2 door has 4 leafs just like the 4 door.

You won't be able to crank your t-bars to add 3.5"... Maybe an inch or close to 2, but not 3.5...
