    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.

    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!!
