I've been following this thread with great interest as I'm planning my own lift, main problem being getting kit from the US but Tone M is helping me out.

I want to ask one more lift question:
Having read all the different threads on this subject some have said that cranking the Torsion bars has stiffened the suspension but I can't see how this is true. Cranking the bars raises the the front but you still only have the same weight acting down, you've merely changed the point at which the bars act, as I see it.
I'm concerned about this as the last thing I want is stiffer suspension as it's presently rock hard as it is, remember this is a Jap import to UK I don't know if the state side VX is softer. I know the stiffness can be down to the shocks but I don't want to change out to Rancho's if I don't have to, it's expensive enough already.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
