New Torsion Bars
When I got home from work yesterday, I had 2 long skinny packages waiting for me. They are the Sway-A-Way Torsion Bars that I ordered from SamCo Fab through a group buy. Looks like I'll be putting them on today or tomorrow and cranking up the front. Should I have just any old place do the alignment on the H3, or am I looking for a place with some experience with our rigs? Thanks. Oh, by the way, the new torsion bars are red. I still haven't received the shackles from SamCo, yet. Guess I'll give him a call on Monday.

Re: New Torsion Bars
Red? Well that won't match, my Fox shocks are blue! 
The schakles are black.
Let us know how the install goes. Where are mine! |

Re: New Torsion Bars
I know!! You have the shackles now, and I have the T-bars now. Looks like we are both looking for the UPS truck to stop by. I'll let you know how the install goes, and put up some pix when I get them installed.

Re: New Torsion Bars

It feels so solid now, It just glided over the rocks, and now the back is suuuuuper flexy

Re: New Torsion Bars
Thanks for the feedback!! Any more pics of the new setup? Did you do the shackles in the back too?

Re: New Torsion Bars
Very nice... and expensive! But quality is worth it. They have a lot of nice looking stuff.

Re: New Torsion Bars
Torsion Bars and Shackles are on. All the difference in the world. No more brake dive, body roll, and like HB said, they very solid and smooth. Pix to follow. Who's next?

Re: New Torsion Bars
Any hassles along the way? How long did it take you? I have some time tomorrow to do mine (as long as it isn't 100 degrees), but just want to be prepared.
