Re: Welp..I cranked my torsion bars....
Those bump stops are really easy to cut with a sawzall. They also pull out. But now that your torsion bar adjusters are hanging way down, a good and safe idea is to remove them from the control arms and turn them one spline. That puts them back to the stock adjustment and still keeps the truck low. Otherwise they drag on speed bumps, driveways, gas station entrances, etc. Then you could end up finding out the hard way, like I did, that those bolt heads don't last very long and break. Mine broke doing 60 mph and dug into the pavement about an inch and a half. Shot me off the road and gave me a pretty interesting ride!

Re: Welp..I cranked my torsion bars....
I understand what you're saying, but...
Those bolts and rear bar mounts are still pretty high off the ground. I have a pretty tall tire. My old 64 had 205/15's, and this has 235/15's. I think even if it drops another 1/2" to 1" up front, and I drop the back 2-3", those bolts are still higher than the mufflers and front c/m. I'm still open to suggestions and opinions. Thanks
