I was wondering, when you raised you front as you mentioned 2,75", how much exactly is the droop? I had my torsion bars adjusted and we measured a droop of 55 millimeters, and I was thinking if I raise the front a little more and have the droop decreased to 40 millimeters, will that be ok. What do you think?

When I went up to 315's we settled on the lift height after several road tests. At first I had such little droop that I'd lift a tire while hard cornering. Not good.
At the current height the on-road ride is good and safe. I have to do something wild to lift a tire. Off road I could use more droop though like everything there are trade-offs. All I know is that I am up 2.75". And like any maker (OME), they will recommend specs that cover themselves safety-wise. More droop is good. More droop on my truck is not needed IMO. It's been good for 80K now with 35's.
