New to the Crowd... N00b Questions.

[2001_Exploder]

Ok, the person I bought my truck from was the one and only owner and he knows my truck very well, so when I turned my tortions up, he offered to do it so I let him, he cranked them all the way up. Now, I have heard many different things and was they aren't supposed to be turned all the way up, true? And if they are turned all the way up my tortions can actually break under a moderate amount of pressure, true as well? I know it's a common question but I don't know, I'm just a n00b here.

Also, I have my plans all mapped out for my truck but since I just bought my 31's, I'm going to put the 2-3" rear shackles on and do a 2-3" body lift until these tires wear out and then I'm going to put my suspension lift on when I get my 35's. My many questions is one, when I have my 3" body lift and rear shackles put on are Bilstein's going to be ok to run? I have a new set on the rear already and love them because of how stiff the ride is but the flexablity off-road, but are they ok shocks to run on my mild set-up? Other than that, I'm just looking for suggestions on a set-up to run when I'm ready for my suspension lift.

I know a lot of stupid questions but it seems that this site is a lot of help and are in need of it badly...

Thanks again for your time!!!

For the first question, I have heard that if you have 4 wheel drive they shouldnt go past more than 2 inches or you'll damage your cv joint's. I dont have 4 wheel drive but I've read a lot about it on here. If you dont have it, well I've heard of people going past 2 inches. I can't remember if they say you if it's ok or not. Someone will coerrect me on this I'm sure.

I dont know a lot about your next couple of questions 'cause I'm not experienced in this haha sorry. The only thing I have done to mine is lift shackles and new'ish shocks.

You'll get better answers than what I just gave I'm sure pretty soon haha
