Did you change your torsion bars?

I'm asking all these questions because I want to get one as well and don't have any lift (yet) at all.

Looks like the skidplates served its purpose [ThumbsUp] [ThumbsUp] for that

nope, and don't plan on it till i have an issue..
The stiffer bars will, well, stiffen up the front end.. All things considered, the bumper weighs less then a passenger would, so i just cranked them a little, to offset the drop (little over 1/4 inch) and off I went.. Once i have a winch installed, and the other skidplates.. I will see what the extra weight does.. After I put on the upper a arms, the spring loading should drop (just a little) sence the a arms will be rotated slightly down, and have less leverage at static ride hight.. as the lower arms pass the horizontal position, the leverage is max on the tbars..

FWIW
Although I have the ARB Bullbar, it also served another purspose quite well a few days ago. On the way to a fishing trip, I hit a deer (fairly large 3X3) at 65 mph. NO damage. It was more a glancing blow, but nonetheless, with stock front plastic, the damage probably would have been extensive.
