Torsion Cranking

[Ldub]

what sort of effect on the ride does cranking ya bars up 1" have ? is there any long term detriment to having them cranked up ? does it make the ride rougher than factory ?

Cranking the T-bars won't have much effect on ride quality, as you're re-positioning the spring (torsion bar), not making it any stronger.

A slight (1") crank, puts more angle on the CV's, and will cause slightly more wear & tear, but many of us have been @ 3" or more, for many a mile, without any problems that new CV boots & grease wouldn't cure...
