Is there a way to tell if you turn the torsion bars too far? I have done the TT, but I'm not exactly sure I have done a full 2". How would I know if I could go further? WIll it 100% ruin your suspension if you go too high?
 






It will not hurt your suspension at all (except make it ride like junk). It will hurt the CV Joints. Do you do any pre and after measurements? Also, some can't get a full 2" without hurting the CVs.
 






I did the TT about 8 months ago and I'm pretty sure I got just over an inch. Then I added 31' tires and cranked them a little bit more (maybe 1/4 " ) to even things up a little. I was gonna try and get a little more if possible but dont wan't to ruin anything. So is there a way to check the CV's to see if I have gone too far or if I could go farther?
