[QUOTE="25fabworks, post: 27877, member: 15124"] Hi All, did a bunch of searching and found the partial torsion bar thread and specs on all the bar torques, but still had a few questions. I'm trying to pick the right bar for my build and it's tough to select one without actually feeling how stiff it is, so was hoping for some butt dyno type opinions. They're going into a half ton that won't do a ton of hauling and is just a gas engine, so not a ton of front end weight like a diesel or plow truck would have, but I want the truck to handle well so don't want a soft bar. That said I obviously can't go to stiff or the thing will skip over imperfections in the road and handle worse. Tried looking up all the different trucks that had the different code bars, but they pretty much all come up as HD bars, so it's hard to tell how they would ride. I'm sure some has to do with a arm legnth and actual leverate on the bar as well, but wondering what most guys with performamce handling in mind are running on their half ton. I know I will need the 54" bars but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
