LCA Bumpers... clearance?
« on: January 27, 2014 - 06:21:15 PM »
How much of a gap should I be seeing between my LCA bumpers and the chassis as a minimum? 

My new torsion bars have now settled and they (LCAs bumpers) are riding against the chassis under the cars weight.

I have about 3/4" under mine? 
You could use something like this?

Who's new torsion bars are they? Sounds like they are not clocked right? I've heard PST had some issues and will replace them  under warrantee?

My bars are from Just Suspension, the 1 inch "Pro Touring Bars".  Don't believe its a clocking issue.  Just that I set it up low and they've settled in.  The Summit bumpers might do the trick, but I still think I can go up a bit.

I set my car up quite low and the lower control arms were just barely touching the original bumpers. I installed the bumpers that brad suggested to you instead of lifting the nose. I think it is a better option. :2cents:
