In the two years I've owned my 100 series I've come around to really appreciate AHC but being a comparatively complicated system it does come with risk. @FxFormat's recent post illustrates exactly what I'm talking about.
If this were to happen in a remote location it could be a real problem. I'm looking to mitigate that risk.
Simply put, I'd like to reindex my torsion bars to leave as much thread on the adjusting bolts as possible. In case of failure I could just wind them in, raising the front enough to get me out of a pickle. Now, maybe I've missed it but I haven't found any information on droop vs the lighter weight AHC torsion bars... Is droop as critical on an AHC suspension as it is with the standard static suspension? Is there anything else I'm missing here or is there an alternative solution I've missed?
