from what I understand about torsion bars this is correct as they are very linear, hence the need for jounce bumpers.

I want to go to heavier bars, but will still keep the low ride height of my lowered SS (plus I will be adding heavier sways and end links). I like the fact that you posted the part numbers and rates!
what is the stock SSS torsion bar code? that might actually be the best match as the weight between the two trucks is within 100lbs I believe.

as long as they will fit the keys looks like the YT's or WZ's might be the best bet

15712411-LH (code WZ) (Max torque 7267)
15712412-RH (code WZ) (Max torque 7267)

15072933-LH (code YT) (Max torque 7267)
15072934-RH (code YT) (Max torque 7267)

If I can get some time this weekend, I'll crawl under and check. Where are they tagged?
