     I read that some of you guys and maybe some of the gals have cranked
     up your torsion bars to provide about an inch more clearance...
     
     I stopped by a garage to have my tires rotated (don't ask me why I
     didn't do it myself... suffice it to say I earned the DML Dunce of
     the Month Award) and asked the guy I know there if crankin' 'em up
     might cause any problems...
     
     He said at a min. I would need a new alignment, it might yield a
     harsher ride and he was concerned about the brake system because I
     have anti-lock brakes on the rear wheels of my '98...
     
     Now I understand that an alignment might be in order and I don't mind
     a slightly harder ride, but what about the brake system? He's a good
     guy and usually knows his stuff, but I was pressed for time and had to
     take off (for our canadian friends that's, take-off, eh? :-) before he
     could explain...
     
     Any thoughts?

     P.S. Goddamnit!(Use SouthPark voice here) My posts are totally deleted
     the first time I send 'em!! WTF! I know some of you are happy this is
     happening, but it's really pissing me off!!!!!
     
     What gives?
