I dont see why that truxx kit is so expensive. Its just new torsion bar keys. Whats that do make it so you dont have to turn the bolt as far??? huh? That you really dont need. The extended shock mounts you need. As far as the keys go you can just turn your own a whole bunch of times it'd be the same thing. The truxx ones are probly just offset a little. Either way its doing the same thing. Now that little yellow thing everyone looks at to see how much height they are getting. They are not bump stops. They are jounce bumpers. They put them on a lot of trucks with torsion bars because torsion bars dont have a progressive spring rate. That is the spring rate doesnt get stronger as it compresses. The spring a torsion bar says on it and is made to is what it is not matter how high you crank it. The purpose of the jounce bumper is to add to the compressed spring rate of the bar. When you crank them your ride will get a little ruffer becaue your going to bounce around a bit from being off the jounce bumpers, your shocks may be off, and an increase in angle of your arms will actually make it take more torque before your bars start to flex. Anyway mine are cranked a bit its a little bumpy and it rolls a lot more in turns but hey whatever. I think the truxx kit is a rip off. Your all falling for it too. All you need is the shock mounts.
