just a quick question. after the torsion bar crank would it be proper to change the shocks. i gained 2 inces when i did mine about 6 months ago. i figured with the extra extinsion that a new or longer shock would be a good idea.

not required for only 2" really. however, if you are having problems with the suspension travel, then you might want to consider a shock upgrade. just my $.02.

shouldn't need them-although you've changed the ride height,the limits of the suspension travel are in the same place-no more droop or stuff than stock.

yep, changing the torsion bars position will limit the down travel, a longer shock is a waste of money, you have gained ZERO travel by cranking your bars. Unless you want to improve ride some....there is no reason to change them.
