Whooo. The parts sound good, but holy cow, the condition doesn't look good. Dang.

Good luck with that.

As for the goods, most looks good, the thicker tbars will seriously stiffen up your ride, and make it pretty crappy. Unless you are running a heavy steel front bumper and a 12k winch, I'd just leave your stock ones in there, much better ride.

thanks for the reply..

any bad words about them upper arms?? the upper arms arnet going to provide any lift without the fat tbars are they??

i should definately be able to clean all that stuff up nicely.

hes also got a set of 5.29 gears that i could get for a good price if anyone wants them... im looking to run 33, wayy later when i recoop some money and find a good deal on some.. so i would want 4.88s.. oh well.

I see. So, you can tell that is all surface rust? Good for you. Notice i said the condition didn't LOOK good. No where did I say it shouldn't be bought. Thanks for the attitude though.

OP, the upper arms aren't going to give you lift, but neither will the larger t-bars. You have to crank the tbars up to get lift, and you can do that with the stock ones. The fatter the torsion bar, the worse the ride. You would be just fine with the stock ones.

so just shoot for the 4in bracket lift??

yes all parts are in good shape... surface rust...

ill prolly sand blast them and throw a couple coats of nice spray paint on them...

i dont want to sound like an ass when i say this orangepeel, but axleike is really knowledgeable about these trucks..

thanks!

MikeMokas.

If the parts are being sold as a group, buy the whole lot, sand blast the t-bars, paint them, and resell. You could probably get 100 bucks or so for them. Someone with a heavy front bumper will be very happy with them.
