I need an opinion or three. I have installed a set of 1.5 inch lift shackles on the rear suspension of my 95.5 Rodeo, and want to crank the front torsions to match the rear. I think that I should be able to do this without a flip, but since I'm replacing the front upper balljoints anyway...

I'm not looking for a lot of lift here, the 1.5 inch lift on the back, coupled with new bushings, is perfect for me. With all of the family in the rodeo, plus gear, plus towing a tent trailer, the rear suspension used to hit the bump stops all the time.

I had to crank on the driver's side torsion a bit a couple of years ago, as it had taken a bit of a set and was lower on that side, probably due to my big ass alone in the rig driving it....My plan currently is after installing the new ball joints (torn boots and 180K miles, might as well) and the CV boots and repacking the bearings is to crank and measure and crank and measure in order to get the front at a height to match the rear...

So to flip, or not? TIA
