Default coil spring to torsion bar front end?

Just wondering what all would be needed to convert a 2wd coil spring to 2wd torsion bar front? From what I can see, UCA, torsion bar, crossmember, what else???

Obviously the LCA too.

I could be wrong, but I thought that the mounting points on the frame for the control arms were different.

the torsion bar goes into the uca right? I just figured the lcs wouldn't need to be changed. If the arms mount to the frame differently then never mind...

Torsion bar goes into the LCA. I believe the UCAs are different too. The 2wd frames also have the coil buckets too.

I've never been under the front end of a 2wd truck, so I won't be a whole lot of help.
