So I've driven the Duramax for a couple of weeks.. driving impressions.

No, I didn't do anything for the different engine. When Travis brought the truck back, he did bring back the HD2500 torsion bars in case I needed them.

I haven't installed them since the truck drives fine and I honestly can't tell a difference.

PS. Having said that, I can tell you that the truck, though level, has no room for adjustment to crank up the torsion bars that are on it now. If I had to raise it up, I'd have to change bars.
