I'd start at 18" and adjust as needed after you've climbed a few.

thanks guys, Im cutting the factory horns off torsion today.Do i find the right angle to weld my torsion to my frame by, the angle of my spring plate? Also im going to flush bottom of torsion with bottom part of tube on frame so there will be less drag.

All that beer must add inches without adding weight...

I got horns cut off today.Im ready to weld to frame, just wondering how to weld it in at the right angle?Do i need to level bottom of frame then, level the flat spots on the top of the sping plate cover ?? Trying to post pics tonight, but no luck yet.Thanks

yes. level the bottom of the frame and then level the torsion by the flats on the shock mounts. there are those who turn the torsion to get more ground clearance, but then you start changing the geometry of the suspension. nothing is free.

I turned the torsion on my suby, I still hate that I did that, huge mistake 10 yrs ago.

What angle is good on windshield post and frame?

Post subject:  Re: dirtdobbers ss questions
I dont think there is any good angle. I built the cab area of minr after i got the seat mounted to the floor so I could make sure I could see good and head clearance.
