Re: New Torsion Bars
I can't believe you guys got me thinking of buying these TB too.  I tought I was done with the truck (Just installed sewie's quick disconnects).
Is the body roll and nose diving really much less? doesn't it have a harsher ride over small bumps? I got cognitos. Would like comment from someone with similar setup?
B.T.W. congrats all. Enjoy it!

I've got the new t-bars sitting in the garage.  I probably won't get around to putting them on until next weekend, but I'll post up my impressions when they're on.

Re: New Torsion Bars
What's the torque setting for the shackle bolts?

63 lb ft. Don't tighten them until the truck is sitting on the ground... about 2 and 1/2 Oompa's.

Re: New Torsion Bars
OMG! The on-the-road difference is night and day! My biggest reason for getting these was the brake drop and the shift drop. Having a 5 speed, I usually shift around 4,000-4,500 rpm, so I can have some power. When you shift this truck at those rpm's, the nose drops a good 6 inches during the shift (if not more). It's really annoying but with the new bars it has alomost completely disapeared. And the brake drop is almost gone also. It was a very easy install, just as pup described. I adjusted them to be 24.5" and lost about an inch after the first drive. I cranked them back to 24.5" and will check them again later today. Now to get the shackles on!

Re: New Torsion Bars
Excellent. Here are some pix, for what they are worth. I never did measure the stock height. Anybody know what it is? Didn't have my camera during the install so, like I said the pix are probably worthless. Next up, exhaust. Anybody have any suggestions. I am looking for stainless, and same exhaust note as stock... probably ain't gonna find that.
