And my shredded bump stop. If I actually had one intact, it'd be similar to the OP's.

So you want to trade off some annoying rub in favor of more stress on the CV joints, making them fail faster? No thanks.

I never understood that - whether it be leveling or a lift. You're putting more stress/strain on your power train for nothing more than a "look" or "stance?" SMH

Show me where a few turns of the torsion key bolts wears those out quicker. I’d also be running the correct size tires. (And on my own vehicle I actually lowered the front and the rear as I don’t care for the mall crawler look)

If you're cranking the torsion keys to raise the front end, you're raising the axle height relative to the position of the wheels, which increases the angle of the CV joints. Bigger angle means more flex with each rotation of the axle. More flex means more wear.

I'm not saying it will lead to immediate catastrophic failure of the CV joints, but it will contribute to an overall shorter life, to some extent.

So again, why do it? I guess I'm just a function over form guy. It's a tool. I don't spend my weekends making my hammers and screwdrivers look pretty, either.
