Hi All!

I'm new to the list, just signed up today!

Ed, I think 2" may be a little too much in the front. A friend of mine
turned the torsion bars up about an 1.5" and the ride got harsh. He lowered
it back down about .5" just to level the front end a bit as it sat lower
than mine prior to messing with it. If you do go up to 2 inches, you'll
also need to have the front-end re-aligned.

Even with just 2" blocks, you may notice more axle wrap up. A cheap set of
traction bars would probably cure this while you're on the street.

I emailed Rancho and they say they are working on a kit for 00-01. Anybody
have any more news, other than the reply I got "We're working on one"? I'd
be real interested to see what they'll do different for the steering rack.
