[QUOTE="25fabworks, post: 27952, member: 15124"] Well what's going to be interesting too is when I measure the torsion bar and a arm on the Ford vs GM. The longer a arm will severely effect the leverage on the bar. My F-150 had one of the stiffest bars available but I have no way of knowing what the torque rating is. It's quite annoying actually. Ford really doesn't support their vehicles after 10 years. I could do the math I suppose to calculate the bars strength but without knowing the exact kind of steel it is, it would throw everything off. My factory bars are hollow also vs the number 7 Ford bars that aren't. Hollow bars actually respond faster which is awesome but they tend to sag sooner, and without available replacements. Well.... Lol [/QUOTE]
