here is an idea, torque them down... oh yes.
lol jk bro, not a whole lot will happen except your truck will go up and your camber will be off.

Do NOT, under any circumstances dial in an inch of lift.
The reason for the space time continuum rift has to do with the transcendental nature of torsion bar loading. Despite your best efforts, you will only tangentially approach one inch of lift and more than likely end up with 0.99999999999999... inches of lift. The problem is the infinitely repeating 9's set up a paradox loop. Any movement of the suspension will cause a sudden "rounding" that will ripple up the entire chain of 9's at relativistic velocities, thus causing compression in the time dimension (using a 4 dimensional vector )...
...well, I guess it's pretty obvious what happens then!
The only way to avoid this is to adjust the preload on your flux capacitor PRIOR to adjusting the torsion bars. Make sure to adjust both lobes of the capacitor since you will be adjusting both torsion bars.
Also, to ensure there are no problems, make sure you are traveling at least 83 miles per hour as you adjust the bars.
Really, it's quite simple to get around -- you just have to understand the technique. Mine only took me an afternoon...well, a week really but time compression resulted in me finishing the same afternoon. It's one of those.

. When i put the new one on I had to make sure my muffler bearings were nice and tight. Gave like 10 HP.

exotics always look good in yellow.
i cant stop laughing.. this thread turned into such a bs thread.. but topping of the exhaust.. man i forgot too.. one of those small caps in the back under the second capacitor charged to 1.21 gigawatt's... always forget that one

.......Blinker fluid......damn.....
I knew I forgot to check that when I was checking my other fluids. Last time I was low on blinker fluid it blew my muffler bearings out........is that a common problem with 3.0's and torsion bar lifts?
Oh, and will these wheels/rims fit my Ranger?? What about gas mileage and tonneau covers......tail gate up or down?
I love non searched questions........especially the top 5 repeats.

BLINKER FLUID MAN that is why I have had problems with my truck recently. I broke my blinker and when the plastic broke off all the fluid must've leaked out. I will get on this asap.
