Martin,

In a previous post to the DML, Bob Zilla already addressed this. Here is 
what he said...

ADDED WEIGHT & Door adjustment ?
This will likely be on a case by case basis.
Yes, you are adding a few pounds to each door so you would think you'd 
certainly need to readjust your doors.
After installation, I would FIRST change the door struts BEFORE you adjust 
the torsion bar. You may not want to touch the torsion bar at all, the jury's 
still out here.
Personally, I was surprised to see how much of a difference Rob Grady's 
struts made. It may become a matter of taste ie. how much "lift" you want 
from your doors & how fast you want them to snap to attention. I prefer doors 
that droop just a bit. This way I don't have to mussel them down EVERY time I 
close the door. But, this doesn't seem to be the case with the Grady Struts. 


Later,
