how much front suspension travel do we have?

for torsion bar front ends?

in that, i mean...if you were to flex....and the tire on the high side of the flex....how much would it travel before tighenting up and moving all the twisting to the rear suspension?

2 inches? 3? i know they dont give much....speedbumps and potholes are a biach....

Stock is ~5-6" like Jared said, with longer shocks, removed sway bars, and limit straps (dont need those CV's popin out) they can pull 9" before the BJ binds and CV's pop out.

haha yes it is

i was just wondering for when i lower it, how much room i should give my tires to travel for going over speed bumps and etc...

my front end feels REALLY stiff, like it hardly moves at all....

5-6 sounds like not to bad than 9 sounds great, the sad thing is that is total travel so 2.5 up and 2.5 down WOW!!!! LOL
