did you ever change your stock torsion bars and leaf springs or are you still running your factory issue jobs?
I wanna put sway bars on my ride but debating if I should change the springs first.

Front and rear are stock. Rear is 4 leaf. KYB's all around with addco bars F/R. (1.25/.75).

Ride and handles great. Just need faster steering one of these days.


I'd start with the sway bars. Bolt-on, and you don't have to disassemble anything.
