Default Spacers vs. Torsion Bars

Daystar 1-1/2" Coil Spring Spacer Kit vs. Cranking up Torsion Bars

Whats the pros and cons of both, the way i see it only the front is going to be lifted, so its not going to throw the angle off that much if at all, is it?

Are either of them going to make anything wear out prematurely.

And which do you guys think will be most reliable/safest/and better for the truck?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you will have one or the other. Springs or torsion bars on the front of the ram.

If your 03 4x4 is a 1500 you have torsion bars. The 2wd 1500, all 2500 and all 3500s have coil springs.

I cranked up my torsion bars 8 turns on the bolt it made a huge difference in the way it sits however you do put some stress on the front end components but who cares becasue the trucks power trian is warrantied to 7000 miles and any damage you do to that can be fixed by returning the torsion bars to the proper height it might take you a matter of 15 min to raise and lower the truck just be sure to use a braker bar it is hard as **** with a ratchet
