I got my 2" blocks on my truck today, and now it sits higher in the back than in the front. I have the reindexed torsion keys on there and was wondering if they would be able to match that 2". They are not quite but almost touching the bump stops. if I cut the bumb stops in half and take the sway bar off would it hurt to run them up some more? They are getting hard to turn now is why I was wondering about all that. Thanks for any input.

Well, sway bar or no sway bar, you can't go higher than the bump stops allow! Removing the sway bar will take a load off the torsion bars though. I'd be willing to bet if you pulled the sway bar off without touching the torsion bar keys, it would smash the bump stops.

But what kind of rake are we talking about here... how much higher is the back? Do you have a picture?

I havnt had time to take a picture, but its about an inch or a little more. That is what I was thinking about the sway bar but I just wanted to ask and make sure. with the bars run up that tight I probably wouldnt be able to much tell that it dosnt have the sway bar on it. It dosnt really look bad I was just wantin it more level. I still have to do a little adjustin on the driver side sway bar its about 3/16 off from the pass side.
