How much stress on the torrsion bars if I lift my 98 AWD? by a torrsion twist?

[WannaXP8]

If I lift it 2 inches with the torrsion twist, how much stress is put on the torrsion bars? Will I still be able to tweak the suspension.

A couple of us have been arguing this point for a while now. My standpoint from an engineering background is that the TT puts less stress on the bars during normal driving (It has to do with torque/moment arm equations) and more stress when flexing during off roading because the bar gets twisted farther when the wheel is fully compressed (after a torsion twist). Do a search on TT or Torsion Twist and you should be able to find the thread.

Can you use a torsion lift on a 91 x?

 

[ok89]

nope only on 95-2001 Explorers and 95 - 2002 Explorer Sports

Is there any other way to level the front without new coils, or coil spacers?

 

[TarHeel085]

yeah you can do coil spacers.

not to raise it up.... unless you want to lower the rear end with a block, it will be slightly lower but it will be level
