I put new torsion keys in my truck a couple months ago and leveled out my truck. I noticed a couple of days ago my truck wasnt looking as level as it did before, I went ahead and measured it and theres about a 1.5 inch difference from the front and back with the front being lower. My truck was level before, what would cause this? Are my torsion bars bad? I have about 120k miles on my truck and to my knowledge theyve never been replaced.

 

From what I have seen before the torsion bars are getting weaker so it's getting close to get new ones

 

Like Ellis said, the bars are weak and will cause the sag. Also I read somewhere that with cranking the keys and getting new ones the front end settles back down and that you should crank them, drive around for a few miles and go back and crank them again.

 

ok, so which would you recommend? Aftermarket offroad torsion bars or just get some more stock ones?

 

Well there is a saying around here "Make every repair a mod"

 

Never heard of aftermarket torsion bars but I have heard of different company's that make them so I guess go with whatever company makes the strongest ones

 

Well I was looking at Sway-A-Way bars and some other stuff I saw online that are labeled "offroad." So am I the only person that has had this issue? Id hate to drop the money to find out its something else. Do they make a more heavy duty version for the diesels that I could put in? Here is the link for the Sway-Away bars, they have some that are pre-stressed? Anyone have experience with this company? http://www.swayaway.com/VehicleMake.php#TORSIONDODGE

 

Anyone with a 2500 or 3500 know the width of their torsion bar and how different it is compared to the 1500?

 

I dont think the 2500s or 3500s ever had torsion bars

 

Oh, I thought the 2500s and 3500s had torsion bars and coils? Anyone ever done a coilover torsion bar swap before?
