Hey Ed,

Mr Stinson replied to a similar question last year:

Keep in mind as you read and do this...Ron was only the messenger. You may
also want to check with Kyle Kozubal. I believe he talked a length about
torsion bars, something about buying 2,000 lb ones vs 1,400 lb ones. I have
no idea what your Dak takes.

How can I "crank up" my torsion bars in the front?? All I need is like
1/2" or so to clear my new tires and rims. Thanks!!!
