Re: Cant find replacement Torsion bars. Am I crazy?
Why are you replacing yours?
If it is the weight of that V-8, I would suggest "clocked keys", 2" SL keys, Rough Country lift keys, etc... Add the fullsize bump stops if you have not already. They are suspension dampners and assist the spring in the lower ranges of compression.

Sounds to me like you need a few hose clamps, some grease, and a new set of wheels with different backspacing. It's the classic snowball effect. Everything you change will effect something someway somehow. Post some pictures of the problem areas, and we will be more able to help.

Watch for funny tire wear and handling with the one ton arm. With the arm alone watch the frame for cracking. Miles had horrible problems with his.
I think you made the right choice going with an OEM equivalent to maintain the geometry.

New Rough Country 2.5 lift
