Nice job!!!

What was the ticket on the torsion bars??

It looks a bit high in the front.. a good rule of thumb is 1 inch lower in the front than the rear with a 1/2 tank of fuel. Its amazing how much lower the rear driver side sits because of the weight of fuel.

Maybe its perfect Its hard to tell from the pic... how does it look in person??

the front is just a bit higher but it looks good in person, plus i have a full tank of gas right now. the ride is rougher, of course, but really, its no worse than my dads stock 87 bronco. i did end up removing the crossmember only because i had no vehicle to go buy an air hammer (closest HF is 40 miles away). i still need to get it allined. would new shocks soften the ride quality at all? if not i feel that the lift was well worth it anyway.

its a 3" kit that i got off of ebay (the one with the shackles). its the same kit that 7700 in alberta has. im going to play around with the adjuster bolts a little to get a balance of ride quality and lift. this was just cranked to the stock location on the bolts.
