I maxed out my shocks enough i can crank the torsion bars all i want but the shocks will keep the front from going up. As soon as I get my bilstien shocks put in I bet the nose of the truck will be sky high so I'll need to loosen them to get the truck back down to were I want it. But everytruck it different and trust me you'll know when ur shocks are topping out.

about a week there ride doesn't really get stiff like everyone says and the little stiffness that it gets actually improves handeling. im planning on loosening them when i get the new shocks.
