If he was to remove the stiff downeys, then he might want to take out the AAL's, because they make the ride pretty stiff.
plus, he would probably have a raked stance lol.
i know i did when i first did my AAL's..
had to tighten my TBAR about an inch or so

Quick question. I just bought some downey torsion bars for a 2wd but the part# is exactly like the one in your pic. Will these fit a 2wd? Or was the guy that sold me this part wrong?
Part# 48161/48162
Part# 48161/48162

As far as I know, the suspension is the same between our 4WD and 2WD trucks, which means they should work just fine.

I have thought about it, but the problem is that I don't have money for a winch/bumper combo, nor would it be put to use. I don't offroad very much so it would be an unnecessary cost/feature that would make me even more of a poser than my 3" lift!

would savage offroad bumpers be unnecessary when they protect your vehicle in a collision? besides, you might not see a use for it now, but once you have it wouldn't you be inspired to go out and use it? i'm just trying to plant offroad seeds in your brain.
just go to a junker and get yourself some stock t-bars. swap those in and install some BJ spacers so you don't have too much of a rake from the AALs in the rear. i wouldn't ditch the AAL unless you never ever haul anything - but that defeats the purpose of a truck doesn't it?
like said before, get yourself some new shocks. they will greatly improve your ride no matter what. at 270k, you've gotta be in need of new shocks, especially if they're the originals.

it's not that much work. the hardest part is probably deciding what you want to do. if it were me, i'd just keep the t-bars but loosen them up for a tad softer ride, install some BJ spacers up front while you're at it, install new shocks + steering stabilizer, rebuild your idler arm, get a lifetime alignment, and then go hit up some of that great NW wilderness.

And X2 on hitting up the wilderness here. Mountains are starting to get snow.

that means they are differnt.
monochrome. thoes nuts are over 1 inch long. do me a favor and stick something down the nut and measure how far away the bolt is. i'll get you an exact measurement of the bolt later.
