datzenmike Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 All 2wd torsion bars are the same. Get them at the wrecking yard. Without a picture of the damage, I'll have to guess this is what was bent.... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/35564-torsion-bar-compatability-i-searched/. Remove them, hammer back into shape and replace them back in the truck.

G-Duax Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 10 years ago, someone made aftermarket torsion bars, but I don't remember who they were. Don't know if they were stiffer for off-road, or softer for lowering. Anybody seen these? Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 4x4parts.com still sells aftermarket torsion bars for 720s. They are stiffer. Quote Link to comment

I don't know if they're still available, or when they no longer became available. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Here is some for a D21. Not certain if they interchange. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I guess 4x4parts doesn't have them anymore. They used to sell them. 720 bars won't interchange with d21. They are different lengths. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 2 and 4wd 720 bars are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment
