    So the original plan was not to go crazy and to just get rid of some wheel gap, but me being me I just COULDNT help myself.

    So this weekend after I did the 3" blocks and moved on to the front, I loosened the torsions too much and slammed the front! So then when the truck came off the jacks and I saw it, I was like OH MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL! So now of course Im too in love with the way it came out to raise it back up, is there a way I can give some more room so the arms stop bottoming out?

    I cut and removed the bump stops so it left me with a bumpy ride in the front, I just dont want to do damage to the arms or shake up the engine and everything up so much. The ride quality is not what bothers me, I happen to think it handles much better with the center of gravity so low. My concern is damaging the arms or damaging the motor when I eventually hit a random bump in the road hard, I KNOW ITS GONNA HAPPEN.
