I do a lot of mountain biking and have a Yakima roof rack. You have two options when mounting stuff on your roof. You can either mount it to your factory cross bars or you can get the "towers" which attach to the side rails and use load bars. My factory cross bars are not so sturdy so i went for the...

I'm back with another question. Since my dad is a mechanic, and bought my car, hes concerned with the drive axle angles. I know that a lot of people say to not go over 2" on the torsion bar tweak because of the cv joints but how about the rear drive axle line with the shackles installed. Can yall co...

I love all the tutorials and stuff you have in your mod section because it is so hard to find straight forward instructions and examples of how people have done similar things. I...

Torsion Bars, Torsion Keys, and Shackles 2" suspension

I would like to give my 4 door blazer a little bit of a lift just for a little more ground clearance and dont want to have to put a whole lot of money into the lift. The most cost efficient lift i've found so far is using the shackles in the back and torsion bar tweaking. Lately i've noticed how som...
