Sometimes you just have to sacrifice...

Dope stance > ride quality

but in turn we have

Dope stance < part wear

I have had my torsion bars cranked down all the way for like 2 and a half years... still no problems. I would hate to check my ball joints though hahaha.

And just to give OP an image of tightened torsion bars, here is my beater truck. Torsion bars tight as can be and 3" blocks in the rear.

this was my 00 mazda truck...

torsion keys flipped
rear leafs flipped to under the axle instead of on top
31" tires...

oh yeah...it was a 4x4 btw.... all wheel drive nga!!!



i kept wanting to find some ford explorer limited wheels and then get some lower profile tires on them, but no dice....they were indeed "limited"
