How much longer? Do you know?

Well I went to http://www.belltech.com/ and looked up your question. I was incorrect with the Beltech 6700 series. The 6700 series is a smaller shackle meaning a 1". The Beltech 6400 is a 2" shackle.

So there is the difference. The 6400 you can get a more nose down appearance because you have the ability of not cranking the T-bars up so much on the front, whereas the 6700 is only 1 inch so you would only be able to crank the front 4 turns over OEM height and you would be basically flat.

Default torsion bars

I have been thinking of doing this for a year or two. and now that I haven't the new tires i just put on are rubbing. On inspection I have noticed my torsion bars are actually warping and sagging. more on one side than the other. ( maybe the wife needs a diet)

My question is if I torque the keys up to stock hight can I break a torsion bar?
has anyone heard of them snapping.

Very rare cases have I ever heard of breaking a torsion bar, on anything. Never heard of one on a durango breaking.

Great info everyone. I'm a guy who never wrenchs my vehicles, & I lifted my torsion bars in no time at all. With the lift, I was able to fit 32's on my 2005 with no rubbing what so ever. I'll share some pics next time I get a chance.

Quick question about those that run 33's on their Durangos. What did you do about the spare tire? Will a 33 fit under the car? Or do you use the original smaller size and it'll get you to the closest shop?

I threw it in the back. Then got a "Tire Gate " from Wilcox. See my picture here or cardomain under lvphotos.
