Stiffer torsion bars will help control the momentum of larger heavier tires on bumps and such.
I just received a set for my Trooper, in part to help carry the weight of the winch I'm about to install.

95 Trooper with a buncha stuff nobody here cares about...
Just did my first freeway drive with the new torsion bars...
OMG... they are incredible. Every issue I had since I lifted is now fixed.
No more bump steer, very little nose-dive on braking, BETTER braking, floats over bumps instead of slamming, and it feels like a solid TRUCK now.
I've considered going back to stock height due to the previous ride-experience issues.... NOT ANY MORE!
Some may say that $500 is a lot to spend for these... I say, if you are lifted, this is THE best investment you can make for the comfort and control of your VX.
BigSwede and Buffy,
Please post your post-install experiences as well!
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I will report back next week on how the bars did. I have my next race this Saturday at Durhamtown Offroad park in Union Point, GA. This will be a very fast track from what I hear as part of the course is a trophy truck track with lots of jumps, steep descents, climbs, etc. Being this is just my second race I am shooting to finish before time expires and not break the truck. I now have a full roll cage installed, nothing like a little metal courage!!![]()
