Anytime you increase the torque on the torsion bars, you stiffen the ride. Not that it's a bad thing, but I'd love to debate physics with the rep you spoke to...

That same rep told me most torsion bars that are aftermarket are the same as in make, construction, manufacturer etc. He also thought my truck had a solid axle until I corrected him. LOL I wish!

P.S. when you say stiffer do you mean when I go over a bump the truck won't bob down as much?

when you increase the tension on tortion bar it basically pushes the tire harder against the ground so when you hit a pot hole it pushes the tire harder into the hole. the ride is more like a truck! so if you dont like the ride of a truck you better leave it the way it is. and i will take a pic of my driveline angles but they are not bad at all.

Yeah, this is a 3rd vehicle used for camping, exploring, towing, etc. I don't really care about the ride. But I would like to see the driveline pics SMKNRAM, thanks in advance.

sorry for the cell phone pic best i could do today. but you can tell the angles are not that bad. I have had 4wd engaged and ran through some extended travel situations and had no issues
