RAS installation Question

I'm thinking of either a RAS or rear torsion bar or possibly both for the Ex. Does the RAS raise the hight of the truck? Would lowering (taking the blocks out of the rear axel) effect a rear torsion bar? Thanks for the input

Edit: fixed RAC to RAS

Ok, depending on how tired your rear springs are you can see a gain of 1-1.5 inches of lift. I highly recommend the product. Both my previous and current ex has the RAS it helps with axle wrap too.

I agree. I put the RAS on and it makes towing a lot better. My springs were in pretty good shape so I didn't see any change in ride height but I'm already lifted 4" so YMMV.
