ime running 34" tyres and have the torsion bars screwed up and i did the 2" diff drop to help the angles on the drive shafts but ive found the front end is quite ridged has anyone removed the front shocks and replaced them with springshocks you know the one ones i mean, they looks like something of a old moterbike and then you can relive tension on the torsion bars thus giving more compresion when off roading?

I don't think coil-over shocks fit. I have a bar that comes perilously close to my front shocks (sorry, can't remember what the bar is called). My OEM shock boot actually rubs that bar.

Yeah even if we could fit coil overs in there, I am pretty sure all it would do is make the ride even more harsh.
