Thanks guys doing this a week from Friday. pics before and after as well as during so there is a write up on it.

 

Ok, so after talking to a few other people they ay that if I crank in on the Torsion bars I will be replacing ball joint more frequently.....
They said to buy the Torsion keys ? How are these installed and how long does it take ? Any clues ?

Thanks

 

Aftermarket torsion keys are like throttle body spacers. 100% junk, nothing but paper weights. Iv'e ran well over 60k on a T/S with no problems. 8 turns only...

 

That is a good point, wondered myself about the ball joints. Think mine were replaced 80k ago with moog's so even with a t/s they should still last huh. That's some good info Duranged.

 

Thanks Duranged408,
I think I have just one more question.....lol
I currently have 265/70/16 on my durango...what is the equicelant size in a 33" tire on 16" rims ? looking at getting bumper like yours to accomidate the 33s......

 

33's wont fit unless you also do a body lift

 

I understood his question as what was an equivalent sized tire in 33'', not if they will fit or not, so here is your answer.

An equivalent size tire would be about a 285/75R16, 275/80R16, or 265/80R16. It really all depends on how wide you want your tires to be and how much sidewall you like.

Thats the 3in lift they are trying to do in the front. No more than 2in with torsion bars, don't do keys. Do a body lift if you want more than 2in. The factory setup is the strongest you can get.

 

the person stated he wanted bumpers like duranged to fit the 33's. i was just stating that a 33 would not fit without the body lift and the t/s lift.
