CV angles

Guys,

Do you think I can go another inch on my torsion bars? These pics are with one inch cranked up. I would like to go another. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Wandell. Since I'm out of threads on the bolt, would you opt for the aftermarket keys? I know your not a fan, but it's either that or get longer bolts. I've heard longer bolts bend sometimes and are a pain to get back out.
I was surprised I was out of threads at only an inch.

If the threads are out then to go any higher you need keys. If you go with keys DO NOT turn them all the way up. Just start low and turn them up high enough to your desired ride height. After that check your CV angle. I would suggest taking a jack and allowing the front suspension to droop out so you can make sure that your wheels spin freely and the CV's dont bind.
