Torsion Bars.

Hello everyone I bought 25mm Bars from Sway-A-Way at the beginning of summer and then Drowned in 2 jobs and im finally starting to get some time to myself to finally install these things.

HOW long did it take you guys to install these bad boys?

WAS it big of a PITA as everyone is saying?

I have been told its taken like a good day to install them.

thank you all in advance.

If you have access to tools and are mechanically inclined it shouldnt take more than 2 hours.

I wouldnt crank them THAT much..
You're gonna eat through your idler arm bushings pretty quick. and your alignments gonna be all out of whack.

I cranked mine an inch or less, and thats only to fix the rake :/

Yeah 25mm's are pretty big.
Better if you have a heavy bumper, too.
