Upgrading from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton leaf springs
One-ton springs won't fit in a half-ton or a 3/4 ton as they're considerably wider. Unless someone cut and re welded all the brackets to the frame, it's simply just not possible. And you wouldn't have the brackets for the over-load pack. 3/4 ton springs would fit, but definitely not one-ton springs.- johnny_162

Softer torsion bars?

Z-height (stock torsion bar setting)??!
I know this is way late but it might help somebody else.... in the case of control arm bolts, they should be tightened at ride height, whatever that may be for you. If you're leaving the springs as they are.... tighten at that, if you make changes to the ride height.... loosen and retighten at...- johnny_162
