Default Torsion bars

Can anyone tell me how high the front end will sit if I crank the torsion bars all the way up so I know what size of blocks to get for the rear end? Help please

you can expect ~2-2.5" of lift with good angles. Any more than that will wreak havoc on balljoints/tre's/wheel bearings/cv's

Maxing out the torsion bars will yield round 2.5" max. Do not over crank or it will cause alot of issues very quickly. Max reccommended height is 25.5" from the center of the fender to the middle of the hub.

Anything over leveled out with the rear is probably asking for trouble
