If your truck is running stock ride height, you don't have a heavy bumper or bigger motor, you don't need HD T-bars.

Where they come in handy is when you use them to get the 1.5-2" of lift possible with the stock IFS. When you crank the stockers to achieve this, the suspension gets very stiff because they are so preloaded and it'll also lead to their early demise. Also very hard on mounting points and can break them.

When you run a HD t-bar it's not so preloaded to achieve the 1.5-2" of lift so it rides softer, has more travel and is easier on mounting points.
