you dont have to touch the ball joints, but for a bit more drop, you can flip the top ball joint, understanding the word flip, just means taking it from its location and placing it under the top wish bone, and the wind the torsion bars up 8 turns, clock wise, if you are using the 2" spaces for the back, it will take about an hour, ish.

Word of warning, be prepared to replace the ball joints as you will most likely wreck them splitting them to flip :wink:

The will wear out soon anyhow if they are old so may as well be replaced

wouldnt mind a set of spacers myself but would this throw the back axel out of line? and would the load compensation valve work as it should?

I got mine from Alex whilst at Bala. He fabricated them for me and others to there spec. You could try a PM to him to see if there is any more and then the torsion bars wound up to match the 2" spacers. :wink:
