    I'm probably considered an "odd duck" for doing business this way but...

    I prefer to do business with/support smaller vendors that offer specialized bits for the VX & Isuzus in general...stuff that you can't get anywhere else.

    I figure if I buy springs, shocks, etc. from them for a few dollars more, maybe they'll still be in business when I need that lower link, diff drop bracket, or whatchamacallit in the future.
    It's the same as supporting this site, maybe it'll be here for future reference.

    I know...not the way of "the majority"...but I'm OK with that.

    Do you think it's wise to replace the torsion bars as well? I am only asking as my suspension really did take a beating with my old 22inchers. I wasn't sure how to tell if the torsion bars need replaced...
