well i installed the shackles and twisted the torsion bars yesterday i ended up having to max out the bolts does this hurt anything u think that my bars are a code ruf or something like that the cv's don't make noise but potholes feel wierd

also i have rancho 5000's that i bought three weeks ago are they good for this lift or do you need longer shocks
 






shocks are fine

maxing the bolts is fine, not more than 2" total though in the front.

get an alignment.
 






You really don't need longer shocks, the stock lengths will do.
It's okay if you maxed out the adjuster bolts, as long as you didn't lift the front higher than 2" it should be fine.
The weirdness when you hit potholes could be that the front suspension is stiffer than before.
 






i think the prolblem may be that i did it a little more than 2 inches i will drop em back down a 1/2 inch and see what happens

also anyone know where i can get shock extenders because i haveheard that they give a better ride once installed
