Question Another Torsion Bar Question

I have been reading all the torsion bar threads, but I haven't seen this question asked:

I'm going to use the re-indexed torsion bar cams and get a 2" lift in the front. My question is do I need 2" longer shocks. I've seen everyone talking cranking there bars, but haven't seen anyone mention shocks. Any thoughts?

the standard adjustment screws allow a lift up to about 2 inches. the standard shocks will work with that lift. i dont know about the reindex you are talking about, but if the lift is limited to 2 inches, you should be o.k.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know!

The re-indexed cams keep you from having to screw the adjustment bolts all the way in which puts all of the stress on the tip of that bolt.

Where did you get the re-index cams, and how much were they?
