Default 04 Crew cab 4x4 4.7 torsion bars

Ok guys i really need some help here as i havent been able to find out much info on this. I am in need of new torsion bars(driver side especially) and i was wondering if there are ANY aftermarket tbars with a stiffer rate or something. I have a winch and all up front and the stock ones arent doing the job anymore. The dealer wants $144 a piece for factory but there has to be a better way. Anyone have any info on some that may would cross reference to other models etc?

I'm assuming you have adjusted your stock torsion keys?

Try researching for 4 wheel off road parts dealers. Also look at replacing the keys for something with a little beef.

Ive already replaced the factory keys and reindexed them. The driver side keeps settling is the problem

I think the dealer is gonna be the only place to get them. Honestly 140 a piece doesnt sound all that bad.

You have got to consider what you are getting and not to mention they are from the dealer. Even if they had aftermarket ones I bet you would still be looking at 200.00 for the pair. Ever thought of lowering the pass side to match the driver side?
