Would a 1996 6.5 K2500 GMC Suburban be better with a 4" lift and the tbars cranked up about an inch or get a 6" lift and loosen the tbars down about an inch? I'm pretty sure I would want to stay with 33's (but you can never be too sure :))...

6" ran flat, The bump-stops or "jounce bumpers" are an important part of the suspension. When you crank-up the t-bars you are eliminating their purpose.

So...Is it better to get the 6" lift and loosen the torsion bars?

I am about to lower the front of my CST 6" an inch to launch better. My T-bars are cranked a little. I hate the way the front sits higher.
