Default Aftermarket torsion bars?

I have done some searching but havent been able to find any info on aftermarket t-bars. I just bought new keys and reindexed the front but it keeps settling a little and im afraid the weight of the winch and all up front is accelerating the wear on the stock tbars. Are there any available with maybe a stiffer rate?

Need more info...is ur truck v6 or v8? From what I understand v8 bars are heavier so that could be an option. If u already have a v8 then simply replaceing them with oem may help

It is a V8. Cant use heavier springs bc the 4wds only use torsion bars up front. Shocks do not hold any weight but just control the travel.
