Default How Do I Eliminate The Torsion Bar Drop

I have a 4" lift similar to the rough country lift. It has the torsion bar drop.
This drop sucks for clearance. Is there any way I can get rid of this drop with out getting a different lift kit?

I agree, the torsion bar drop looks like ***... i know theres at least one lift that doesnt have the drop but it aint cheap.. they use brackets on the a-arms that move the part that attatches to the a-arm up, that way the t-bar is still at a factory angle... i'll see if i can find a pic

this is a rough country lift... i know i've seen a similar setup for the ram from a different company but cant remember where

BDS suspension is the only one that does that for dodge. I would get a hold of BDS and see if they could explain it to you, even see if maybe they could make just that part of the kit for you. Im sure it will still be somewhat pricey though.
