2500 TBs

ok so im going tom maybe tuesday to put on my rims and tires and it got me thinking i need to finish my lift and im sittin at 5 , super lift says this is a 5 to 6.5 7 possible lift with crank and add aleaf ect... i have the add a leaf the only thing is im wondering how much better i would be with Torsion bars out of a 2500? in theory it would prevent future sag and sturdy up the front end with the added weight , thoughts? suggestions?

Crank the stock keys up for now and save the cash, I know things get a little tight when pissing a ton of money into these things. I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. Ride would be a little stiffer I would think with the 2500 bars. But again, until you need them, why mess with it?

yea thats true i just figured the 2500 might give me more lift dont you think ? less weight on them so they should spring higher.... then again i will suffer with ride quality and i would have to find them in a junkyard so yea i should prolly save that money for regear

adjusting your keys does the height. changing the bars will stiffing it up.

if you want to do that youll have to change the t bar bracket for your lift with one for a truck being the 4drs are 52" and trucks are 54" i swaped em and ran that way for a while but bars stuck out of front of control arms too much and i hit a big hole muddin and poped one out. and got it back it and it came out again one day on the road and bent my fender some. thankfully it was a side road it happened!

theres what im talking about the length difference. can also see the dia. difference between the two

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

so can i. wow i figured the diamiter would be different for obvious reasons but not the length? and what did these come out of a suburban? crew cab? maybe thats the reason or where all like this?

they were out of a 1500 truck lol guy did a solid axle. for whatever reason gm made the 4dr tahoes with shorter bars. from when i was researching before the swap only 4drs are 52" the 2dr blazers/tahoes, suburbans, trucks are 54"

because of frame layout between the two.
