Stock torsion bars

[93sierrak1500]

I do not know much about suspension but my '93 nosedives and I hate it. How well does an obs ride with cranked torsion bars? Good, bad, or can't tell a difference?

Mine are cranked up about 2" , my ride is fine, still smooth, the only difference I notice is if there's a pretty good dip in the road and I hit it at speed the front will rebound a little more firmly than stock. Its not objectionable though.

Mines up 2.5" and it's quite a bit firmer than stock,but also running 12ply 35s on 20" rims so no real sidewall to cushion ride. I had some 37s on 17s and was ALOT softer than the 35s but still former than the stock ride. Washboarded roads is when ur gonna beat ur dash to death tho, like suspension is too stiff to to handle quick bumps. Overall if u stick with 2" and less probably won't be an issue tho.

My Suburban is cranked just over an inch IIRC and I can still tell a massive difference in ride quality from stock. Personally I wouldn't recommend it. I'm going back to factory z-height one of these days.

Crank them and watch your upper A-Arm until it has about a 1/2" from hitting the "droop stop, also watch your shock length shocks, thats what gives a bad ride also, I just went thru all this last week. I want to go higher but don't want the a-arms to hit so???

Install stiffer front shocks, leave the ride-height alone.

His shocks might even be junk.

That's what I expect.
