Orange You are right about a cheap try. Have seen a few off roaders that did it and had trouble as it seems this is not as reliable under the off road use and torsion bar will give up allot quicker under the increased stress. So basicly You are multiplying the torsion bar stress off roading from what it was set at for average or normal use from factory for a combination user or really a street ride.
My studies show use offroad equipment for off road use. You can do the short cuts and will last along time if kept on street.
This is just what I have learned from experienced off roaders and those who have tried it. We have what We call the tow pig that belongs to Dragon that We use to haul rigs to shows and He had done the key change and torsion raising and He after a few months cut back on the torsion raise and I think changed keys. He was just not getting a good ride if I remember right and there was another problem I think but, i appoligize that it slips My brain right now. I have been ill allot this weekend so memory is bad.
There are some 2" or 3" lifts coming out and would suggest You look at them for lasting change and more real functionality.
Let me say also that I know a very few that have run off road and still runing the setup. So sometimes You get that magic rig that everything works that You do to it.
