Re: Torsion Bar Information
We've been doing these to the H2 and all the 99 up GM trucks and SUVs.
It just changes the a arm location in relation to the torsion bars.
No different tension/twist in the bars since they are carrying the same weight.
put a 300# bumper or a snow plow on the front then turn the bars up to the original level, the bars have more load on them.
As said before just have to watch topping out the shocks.

Re: Torsion Bar Information
I did the torsion bar adjustment today. Did two and half turns and gained 1 inch in ground clearance. It is getting an alignment right now. Any ride difference is barely noticeable and looks great!

Re: Torsion Bar Information
Ok let me ask more specifically.
How are the BDS's working? Have you installed them?
I looked up the part numbers and it shows they are for the Chevy/GMC 4WD K1500 (nonHD) 99-06 6" lift.
Did you have to modify the mounts at all?
Why BDS ? What are the actual length of the shocks?
Thanks, Bebe

Why BDS ? What are the actual length of the shocks? Extended length is 2 inches longer then factory. Giving you 4 more inches of travel at the wheel. You will have to remove rear sway bar or get a different sway bar link. they will not extend the extra inches and will pop out of there socket. I just removed whole bar. Have not had any probs. Gm's never had sway bars on solid axles before I haven't noticed any extra body roll....
Thanks, Bebe

Re: Torsion Bar Information
OK,thank you.
Did you keep the front shocks stock? You had noted that you turned your T-Bars, 7-8 turns, did you not get longer shocks for the front???
