Im hopping back and forth from lifting my truck and lowering it. i have 08 sport excab. i know torsion bars dont like being f-ed with so does anybody know about baggin one. price? time? anything? im a mech in the army. since i work on broke-a$$ $h!t all day, i dont wanna work on my own. if anybody has ever paid to have it completely done id like to know how much id be shellin out.

I tried researching this topic before askin, and i cant find the specific answers im looking for. maybe theyre there and im just an idiot. thanks in advance for the info and sorry in advance if i missed the thread and wasted ur time reading this.

 

IMO, I would start calling shops in your area. It is going to vary from county to county and state to state.

 

yeah i guess ill have to when i get back stateside. i looked around on RPS for info too and some guy was talkin about 5 grand plus. if i wouldve know about torsion bars before i bought the truck i never would got a sport. but ive never owned a ford or lowered a truck, so the joke was on me.

i thought about crankin the tbars down but i do a lot of drivin and i dont want the rest of the suspension to suffer.

 

it's not just the sports that are torsion barred. they started it in the early 2000's i belive.

the 08's are lower then the previous years. there is a thread above this one (maybe sticky'd) explaining the difference with the bars and keys. you could see about getting the 2wd, xl 4 banger torsion bars. that might lower you. but i'm not sure. read that post. it might help you translate the door jamb sticker on your truck.

 

but it is easier and cheaper to put a long travel suspension on a t-bared 2wd truck....

 

i think he wasnts to lower it since he asked about bags. why would a person put a long travel susp. on a slammed truck?

 

hes hopping back and forth from lifting and lowering so i was just saying some options...

 

thanks for the input guys. looks like ive got some researching to do and decisions to make.
