Ahh that makes a little more sense. So the torsion bars themselves are almost the LCA's. Cool, I think I get it now haha. Suspension lifts like that are generally pretty crappy. Doesn't help much just to push crap closer to the ground, almost the same idea as a body lift, no help in articulation, just ground clearance... I guess than I'll end up doing a t/s lift plus maybe an AAL and in the future, a 2-3" body lift! Thanks guys

Yeah i only sported a body lift to run larger tires. I never ran AAL's though, maybe because i swapped for some Dakota +4" rears that helped with payloads.

Mainly because i snapped my orig leafs playing dirty

Cant remember exactly where i got them, i'll have to check into past purchases. They were orig purchased for my SAS but at that time i had no other choice but to use them so i put factory shackles back on and kept them axle over. Factory shocks will not work off the bat due to the arch, but its recomended to throw 2-300lbs in the back to break them in. Factory will work after you break them in but limit your travel so i'd look into longer travel if you want the most out of your droop, i think i went with 3-4" longer throw.

And what did you do to the front to match the rear? You have a mean stance man, most well proportioned Durango I've seen. Sick front bumper too.
