Truck extremely bouncy after lift

[Caman96]

My first thought on this is that being installed incorrectly, they were twisted the wrong way. I wonder if that can damage them. This is a previous post.

Torsion bar problem installed wrong?

I rebuilt my 93 Silverado 4x4 front suspension. can you put a torsion bar in backwards? putting the keys in where it sits in the cross member, don't even need the tool. but when take truck off jacks, its like the bumper is scraping the ground. So turn the keys down 1/6th (hex) they point...

Update I have fixed the problem the torsion bars were flipped (front to back)

Can't say too much though, I only know bc I did it too.

I, too, initially installed mine backwards. I was looking at undercarriage photographs of a pristine, low-mileage 1998 K1500 listed on Bring a Trailer when I noticed the markings on the end of the torsion bar at the passenger side control arm. I was beyond upset at myself.
