Need recommendation for torsion bar

Nark · Nov 29, 2011

My 1 ton is almost 400kmi now and I think torsion has worn out a bit. I replaced the front shock with KYB gas-a-just about a year ago and now it need a new set.

I just ordered Monroe HD, somehow I couldn't find any HD shock from KYB or Rancho for my 1-ton, 3.4, 2WD. That's odd.

Any brand you guys recommend for torsion bar? Prefer something stiffer than my 1-ton OEM. I don't have experience changing it. Do I need any special tool?

Thanks

If they are starting to drop. You could adjust them up some. If you are looking for total replacement you might try 4 wheel parts. They have 4 or five locations in CA. I

Nark...what year is yer T-100? The 1-ton was only made from 1993-1995 with the 3.0L engine fer 1993-1995 and the 3.4L only in 1995.

Yer VIN will also reveal what the rating is by going to www.toyodiy.com and putting it in there.

I just spend lots of money on my other car and my mom car so I guess I wont be getting new torsion bar anytime soon.:disappoin

That's seem easy enough. Will be getting Monroe HD shocks in so I probably need alignment anyway and along with wheel balance too.
Thanks.
