While we don't carry torsion axles we do know that when you go from a 10 degree down torsion axle to a 45 degree down torsion axle you do gain height. The height difference is right at 2 inches with no load.

I attached a link to all of our axles as well.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
