Torsion bars are cranked quite a bit, and I have the diff drop which helps CV angles.
As Larry said the spacers are available at Independent4x , as for brake lines, yes I have the steel braided extended brake line kit from Independent4x or I could not have done this at all. Shock travel is limiting my down travel right now by about 4-5" right now, and since I already extended my bumpstops on the rear I will be considering some new shocks in the rear possibly.
Haha, that would makes things easier, what is the fun in that? Yeah if I have to remove them I will pick that up
I thought the same thing about the diff drop loosing ground clearance and all, but really you are not loosing any ground clearance if you modify the cross member. I just chose to put the cross member extension brackets on there until I decide on a local welder to do the mod to the cross member so I won't loose any ground clearance at all.
I did not do anything to the torsion bars this time around, still the same from the initial lift.
I was thinking the same thing and already started a thread about the options for moving the rear axle back just a little:

As has been discussed before a lot of these weird noises can be addressed. Mine has gone away as the tires wear more even and I played around with driveline angles by playing around with the torsion bar crank. Seems that we need a little tilt forward with the rear slightly higher than the front to get rid of the whine. Mine has gone away over time.
They are coming soon, I am trying to find something I like that is around 35" x 13.5" or so.
I don't know about "full" I still have some room to go up, and I could always just reindex them, but yeah I have the CV drop brackets and a pretty mean torsion crank on the front to go along with the 4.77 gears.
Actually now my antenna hits the garage on the way out, I still haven't gotten used to thatAlso it is slightly taller to get into now, and I cannot see out of the back window as nicely as I used to, but my modified higher rear view mirror mount still is helping with that. Also braking seems more responsive for some odd reason, and it seems to take speed bumps better now.
hey, if you decide you want someone to take those terra-grapplers off your hands you can send em out here to colorado
just playing- ride looks great!

Looks great...
Could definitely use some more rubber though
So you installed new CV drop brackets, and now you're back to a full torsion crank ??
I'm looking forward to doing mine!
Nicely done, I have a similar idea once I get those diff drop brackets installed (which isn't happening any time soon).
You gotta get 35s now!!
I knew I should have payed more attention in physics class...

Does anyone know if the VX torsion bars have a different spring rate than a Trooper? To my understanding the VX has thicker sway bars than a Trooper so just curious...
