Is it true that if you crank the torsion bars you need to get longer shocks? I've heard yes and no from different vendors. I need to get an alignment soon and need to find out before then. Thanks!

They probably don't know they are too short from the get go. cjsho 10-12-2006, 11:23 AM Yes, you need longer shocks, one reason is the stock units top out when the torsion bars are cranked, and two, the stock shocks don't last very long.--- http://www.offroadunlimited.com/ProductCart/PC/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=96 Duramaxdude03 10-12-2006, 08:17 PM what would you recommend for the length if I tweaked the bars. do they sell shocks two inches longer or what ? Iam thinking on getting Monroe reflexes Grey Stray 10-12-2006, 09:05 PM What is your opinions on skyjacker shocks? Seem to be fairly cheap and this was recommended by one vendor. ChrisHin 10-12-2006, 09:37 PM What shocks are better? I'm looking at Bilstein shocks from Kennedy's website (I think they are just OEM shocks) or 5100 Bilstein's? I'm going to turn my t-bars and want to get new shocks at the same time. If I get the shocks from Kennedy's I'll get the shock shaft spacers.
