Default Front end lift

I did the torsion bar adjustment and still not completely satified with the front end lift. 2 1/2 turns and the front is still a bit raked. I wanted to go 3 or 3 1/2 but most posts indicate future problems.

Has anyone turned 3 or 3 1/2 without problems?

Has anyone installed a lift kit and satified with the results? If so let me know which kit you used.

I'm at three now. Started at 2.5. It rides different from stock, but I think it is worth it

i have 3 turns done to mine. That raised the frond end about an inch. I asked the dealer how much would be the max and he said 1.5 is about all one could safely do with no upcoming damage. Not to mention, it's still under waranty. Do it. Do it.

Has anyone avoided the torsion bar adjustment and instead purchased a true front end lift to even out the front and rear? Does anyone have a suggestion for a cost-effective but quality kit?

Thx,
Chris

This works best for the front end lift:
