    what sort of effect on the ride does cranking ya bars up 1" have ? is there any long term detriment to having them cranked up ? does it make the ride rougher than factory ?

    Cranking the T-bars won't have much effect on ride quality, as you're re-positioning the spring (torsion bar), not making it any stronger.

    A slight (1") crank, puts more angle on the CV's, and will cause slightly more wear & tear, but many of us have been @ 3" or more, for many a mile, without any problems that new CV boots & grease wouldn't cure...

    Yea not really noticeable tho having ome912s in the back 100x better ride no more hitting the bumpstops

    Castigan if you were in welly id let you have a drive of my vx and then you could see what a lifted one is like.

    I think this would also be a factor in the front feeling softer after cranking the T-bars. More available up travel before hitting the bumps.
