My maxed out suspension lift :)

So, in reading this whole thread... I want to pose a new scenario/question.

In theory... To decrease nose-dive on braking, could you use Ascinder's method, by re-indexing the torsions at a "lowered" stance, then crank them up to stock height, giving them added tension/firmness?

Just a thought.

IMO...

It shouldn't matter where the TB's are indexed...it still requires the same amount of force, to maintain the same load, at the same height...no matter what that height is, stock, lowered, or lifted.


But that's just me, I'm a different breed of cat...

I mean no disrespect towards anyone's opinion, and as always, mine is worth exactly whatcha paid for it, maybe even less...

After having done some further research into this I believe Larry and Justin were in fact correct. I had been informed that the torsion bars functioned differently than they actually do. If you look around on the internet there is a lot of information out there, as well as a lot of misinformation. I read some explanations of they worked and didn't really give it another thought, that was my mistake.

Getting back to your question:

n theory... To decrease nose-dive on braking, could you use Ascinder's method, by re-indexing the torsions at a "lowered" stance, then crank them up to stock height, giving them added tension/firmness?

Yes, I believe you could, but not for the reasons I mentioned. Justin(ZEUS) pointed out that my suspension felt stiffer due to the increased angles on the drivetrain and suspension components because now in order to nose-dive, the A-arms and wheels must be forced outwards in order to be able to move downwards. It takes more force because you are now working against leverage to squat the front end. Again, sorry for putting out any bad info.

...I've heard if you grind up some Viagra and sprinkle it on your A-arms it will stiffen up your suspension.

Did you hear they're coming out with viagra in liquid form?

It will now be possible for a man to literally "pour himself a stiff one"...

Torsion Bar Suspension.................................A ARM!...
