Default pics with 3" body and torison bars cranked?

trying to see what it looks like, was wondering if it would be just as high as a 6" suspension lift. thanks

Not to thread jack, but how have you been able to go offroading with any sort of speed without breaking or bending a tie rod? I don't trust cranking the T-bars.

wheelin yes i used stock keys. they get you to about the max height you can go because my bump stops in the front are almost touching the upper control arm so even if i had the keys i could go up maybe half an inch to an inch. and im very happy i went with 35s. i just had torsion bars cranked for like 6 8 months then i got a deal on the body lift from a pawn shop and only paid 70 bucks. the install was kind of a pita but it was worth it

the picture is of my cv angles and you can see where the tires like to rub on full crank on the swaybar
