or you can wait for someone to make coilover brackets and buy those along with coilovers

yup, pretty much takes torsion bars out of the equation. which means for you no more rock catchers lol. i think there may be a thread somewhere on here deep in like 30 something pages with some rough sketches of the mounts but they dont give angles, or anything which i dont know if youd need or what not but they seem pretty straight forward.

I'd go with coilovers or the heaviest bars you can get. I installed #1 bars and I don't think the ride got worse at all. Still rides like a Ranger. lol
