I did and I really like it on road. However, I was unable to take off road, which is where my primary concern of the torsion bars is. In the past, I've owned two torsion bar 4x4s and did not particularly like either of them. I think the coil overs that a lot of the manufacturers are moving to is a better design.

Lifting a torsion bar rig essentially entails lowering everything. This does not exactly give rise to increased wheel travel. Lifting a coil over rig does not necessarily entail that, and I imagine with time will lead to greater wheel travel.

I wish more people would actually comment on torsion bars versus coil overs rather than attempt to insult me. I posted a valid question and would appreciate more thought out responses.

P.S. I've read some of your other posts DRTYFN and know you can provide some good insight on the various Hummers. Can you provide any on my question?
