Hey just wondering how people get on when the wind there torsion bars up i noticed on mine that the bump stop is getting very close to touching. I've just had my springs re-set so now i have to lift the front up to match it. Whats a safe limit to how far u can wind them up??

The bump stop is 1.3 the way along the bar so you get 3 times this distance in up travel. Add to that its a soft bump stop. A ball joint flip will give you a bit more travel as will low profile bump stops. As you need a wheel alignment anyway I would go for the ball joint flip

Do a ball joint flip, this will be a big help. You can wind them up as much as you like, but if they won't touch the top stop under full compression then your losing travel. The more the lift you do though, the more likely you are to blow cv's though.
