Torsion Bar Color?

I have recently noticed the Torsion Bars on my 88 Pick Up are red. So i decided to measure them with a set of calipers. They measure around 24.9mm. Who makes these? They don't appear to have any markings. Anyone have any idea?

I just bought mine 2 years ago......can I still say just?

Anyway, They are red and 25mm but they are made by swayaway. They say Powerbars on them I think.

Downey's are usually white and swayaways can be white or red, but I think the newer ones are red.

You're right. The downey's are black.

Swayaways have come in white in the past, but mine and several others have been red. sorry.
