Silverado Long Bars?
Where can you buy long bars for a 02 Silverado reg cab? 
Coming from the Ford scene I always had JLP long bars on my trucks which I absolutely loved. Bolt on and hook, no adjustments needed. I have Caltracs on my truck now and am not a fan of them at all. I've seen all the other short bar kits - VAS, Assassin, etc, and have searched pretty hard and heavy but can't come up with nothing but Duramax stuff. How come no one runs them or even makes them for us?

Get ahold of VAS on facebook. If anyone can make you some long bars, he will.
Personally, I never liked the geometry of them. A leaf spring gets longer and the axle moves back as you compress it. With the front of the bar fixed to the frame and the rear of the bar fixed to the axle, seems to me as if the axle would be getting twisted pinion up or put in a bind as the rear suspension is compressed. Just my thoughts on the subject.
