I'm taking the expensive route but for me, I'm paying for piece of mind - I bought the Truxxx 2" lift kit (to be installed this weekend)

Is this the one you bought.

Yes- Ordered it through a local shop (Kodiac Customs) who will be installing it for me.

Will putting the 2" extenders on the front shock effect it off road, like the thin part of the extender bending or am I just crazy?

I have spoken to 6 different performance shops in my area (yes, a bit anal but I wanted to do ample research prior to making the purchase) as well as my dealership and they all said not to tighten the torsion bars. They equated it to being like a rubber band and by over-tightening them you can do more damage than good. I'd rather take the risk of breaking the extention kit off-roading than adjusting the factor set up by turning my bars................now, there are many, very different opinions in this forum about this very topic and people are adamant about it similar to religion.

{I'll now brace myself for the smackdown - shortbus- dilo- dennis- etc.}

I also have heard that in the long run turning the torsion bars would cause problems but i have not heard of anybody yet. I too don't like the way the H3 looks with the frony lower so i was going to get the extentions, that is until I saw the Rancho lift kit and i might just save up for that. If I get the extension before the lift, is it a pain in the butt to instal? and could I just print out the instructions you posted and bring it with me when i get the tire alignment done?
