Whats happnin man..Stopped by Jon's the other day.Saw your old rims :D he said you sold the 620.Hope the sale went well and you got what you were lookin to get from it.Have a great day bro.
The torsion bars installed with no preload on them in a fixed position most likely with the truck in the air and the suspension at full droop when you put the truck on the ground the torsion bars twist and creat resistance or spring rate, The adjusters are attached to the torsion bars and as you raise or lower the truck it either increases or decreases twist in the bar and increases or decreases spring rate...
thats why when ordering a torsion bar sway bar they give you options in length and wall thickness to get the proper spring rate for your application
again it makes sense in my head but im no engineer

Torsion bars achive their spring rate by torsional twist (like a torsion bar sway bar keeps the car flat by increasing resistance or spring rate as the bar twist)so YES you would be losing spring rate because your are untwisting the bar...

dont forget the battery on the passenger side, when I was prepping my kc for the BMW lights I ran out of room with the battery behind the bucket of the light. so you may have to relocate the battery else where depending on the final depth of your lights. cant wait for these... :D

Just an FYI Lithium grease turns into a sticky gunk after about 6 months, when I worked installing suspension at my buddys Mustang shop all the bushing kits came with it so you would think thats the stuff to use, WRONG... we started using synthetic bearing grease and no more issues
Clayton
depends on your struts and tire size it should not be an issue I know that when Troy runs 15x7 +25 on a stock 510 strut he runs a small wheel spacer with a 205-50-15 tire

Darrin is a cool guy and somebody I would consider a friend of mine and everyone is intitled to their opinion I feel the same way as him sometimes but I have kinda come to expect that maybe the turn out isnt going to be the best but I go because my friends are there and you never know who or how many people are going to show up... I too have been both disappointed and surprised
