Okay, besides swayaway bars that cost like $1300 what are my options? Ford has discontinued the #1 and I'm sure all other torsion bars for our trucks. I need new ones as mine are wore out from holding up the truck for 18 years. I don't have the time or money to swap to coils right now, I've done a lot of research but don't see many options, besides maybe custom fab shops but I bet those cost a lot too.

Ordered through 2 Ford dealers both said no way on the right hand torsion bar. Am I just going to have to deal with the 2 inch sag until I can do the coilover swap? Tried to level the truck but it stops at about 38.5 inches (fender to ground) vs about 40.5 or so in the rear, no matter how much I crank on them, put brand new isolator pads as well hoping that would help some, it didn't...

Can't hurt to call them

 

They just direct you to local dealers who will tell you the same thing. I just placed an order we'll see if it goes through, I'm thinking it won't though.

 

Immediately refunded. Guess I'll crank them up a little and ride with it for now...

 

Not sure if these are in stock or just listed not knowing they are unavailable.

They are all third parties ordering from the Ford wharehouse. All will say the same thing when you place the order. Why are there no aftermarket bars? These are just like coils and are used on multiple vehicles I don't understand.

This guy makes kits to convert to coilovers, an FYI for anyone in the future, I never found his info until one of his videos randomly popped up on my YouTube.

I paid $150 shipped (2022 money).

 

I went to the website and saw his kits..
He also makes center consoles, lighting brackets and other stuff.
In my experience, these small industries are great but don't have the customer base to last forever....so, were I interested in getting anything from such a maker, I'd do it quickly as you never know how long a "little guy" can last.
