ah ok, won't it ride rough with the torsion bars cranked that much, because don't you have to crank them almost all the way to match the 3 inch block? My dad put 3 inch block in his pickup, then changed to a 2.5 so his bars weren't cranked so much, and it road a lot better.

my theory is that the truck is so long some stiffness couldn't hurt. if I find that it is just too rough, I will look into other options. My hope is that I can find an option that doesn't break the bank
