Default Re: I was thinking.......

it's really not all that simple if you want to try to maintain a close to stock ride.

First the tbars have to be the same lenghth and a similar torsional rate to work with the truck. The front suspension was designed to work with that rate of bars.

I think even Rancho makes some aftermarket tbars for 'yotas, but they had to put some R&D into it.

Typically you don't have cross-over of a tbar from one vehicle to another that's on different platforms, it just wouldn't work.


I would imagine there would be some way to take the bars off and by heating and cooling a little, increase their torsional rigidity but maintain their overal rate. What that would do would be to strengthen the movement so it's not as bouncy but would probably make it slightly harsher.

Someone that knows metallurgy could better give an idea if it would be an answer.
