Torsion Bars swap?

[eric.s.t]

I think their purpose of changing to a bigger torsion bar is to have a stronger front end ...

Early thread comments stated "the mod works" so I know Im over analyzing it. I guess my gut instinct needs calibration. For some reason it feels like there would be unintended consequences.

Not sure how much truth there is to the Y RPO theory. I found a document online that listed all the GM RPO codes. I put together a spreadsheet of my codes. Unless the list is wrong...

I read the RPO code thing on another forum. My code matches so I just assumed... Thanks for the clarity.

I did it because my front end was super bouncy after I lifted it and the 3/4 ton vars fixed that. I got them out of a 98 with a 5.7 and they were 3/4" thicker. Didn't get any extra lift out of it but they greatly improved my ride with my heavy front bumper. It only took me a few hours to do it but I live in the south west with zero rust so it may take you a little longer

I can't speak to the validity of that spreadsheet... Just found it in a google search.

2500 bars have been acquired. Not sure when I'll have a chance to put them in. Might have to be a Spring mod.
