I'm considering options for torsion bar replacement. Anyone ever used one ton truck torsion bars? They are about 4" shorter, larger diameter and the hex at the ends is larger, but I think it's doable. There is enough clearance to move the cross member ahead 4" without colliding with the mufflers. I think the one ton pickup pork chops could be used at the back and the front hex could be ground down to match the socket on the lower control arm. Interested in your thoughts. Thanks.
