I was wondering how much of a lift I can get from twisting my torsion bars before I have to start changing more things around. Also how far I have to go in the front and the rear to fit a 32x11.5 without any triming, if anyone has any pictures of their trucks with a moderate lift they would also be greatly appreciated.
 






I'll have pics of mine on stock 29" tires probably tomorrow (depending on weather). I did 2" TT and 2" Shackles. Although it ended up coming out to about 1.75" after everything settled up a bit. I can fit 32's on my stock rims without any rubbing, I think stock is 8.5" wide if I remember correctly. We compaired this with a friends jeep that sits on 32's, unmounted one of his, mounted it on my rim and put it on while on the lift to check if I could clear, I did with VERY little trimming being required for a perm. job.

I'll throw up some pics tomorrow depending on the weather. (sorry in advance if the truck is muddy, fields + dragging deer + little playing afterwards = mud in places I didn't think it could go)

PS: 2" Is pretty much standard school of thought for max torsion twist. Any higher and you'll put too much strain on your CV joints due to the higher than acceptable angles. If you're 2WD however, crank them up as high as you want, 2WD doesn't have CV joints and is safe to crank higher than 2".
 






I fit 32.11.5s with just a tt/shackles. See the link in my sig for pics.
