Ok, what do you think about the old torsion bar twist with longer shackles in the back to gain a 2in lift? Sounds like it would work but also sounds shady. I am sure it would make a stiff ride but what kinda damage could it cause? Also would it make a difference if you already have a 6in suspension? Tell me what you think guys.

 

it works great. ride is alittle stiffer but not unbearable, as for the back you will need blocks or an extra leaf. longer shackles will lower the rear
And make sure to get an alighnment afterwards.

 

So do you have a 6in already or no? Thanks for the info on the shackles though I hate the look of the back lower then the front. If I put a extra leaf in will this need longer u bolts? Thanks

 

agreed

 

Anyone got any pics of there,s already done?

 

Yes, you can crank up your torsion bars with your Fabtech. Out back you could add a larger lift block or an aal to raise the rear.

 

agreed

 

depends on how much extra thread you have left on your u-bolts. when i added mine i had plenty of thread left so i did not have to buy new u-bolts.

 

awesome sig thumper2001

 

See sig...

Skyjacker AAL and torsion bars cranked all the way

 

Hey guys thanks for all the great advice and as for the compliment about my sig, all the credit needs to go to beyondlimits for that one, he did it for me.

 

How bad did you need a allignment after you did that? Or did you even do one?

 

ive always wondered why noone on here seems to use lift shackles...?

what am i missing here? lol

 

Well according to what the guys have said it will make the back lower. What I think they mean is you wont get enough lift out of them to stay level with the front. Some one let me know if I am wrong.

 

a lift shackle is actually shorter and therefor does not allow the spring to "flatten" as much as it should. not a big deal to some but for someone who likes to flex out the suspension id stay away.
