ok, so i pulled the torsion bars off my truck because i'm going air ride.. are they worth anything? is there a market for them? or should i just sell them as scrap?
hang on to em cause you never know when someone might want them, but there really isnt a "market" for them. or if you dont wanna waste the space, just scrap em.
keep em, believe me. if you ever blow a bag and dont have a spare its always nice to be able to throw a torsion bar back in for a few days.
yeah they are worth keeping in the corner or attic... I took mine off to go low for a while and when I went to put them back on my uncle had trashed them, they are over 200 from toyota with the bolts. I paid 50 or 100 for mine I dont remember.. and that was used...
the bolts got destroyed.. but hey.. bolts are abundant.. i supposed i will keep them for a just in case like you guys suggest. I am somewhat angry though that 10 years ago when i got this truck i wanted to lower it so so bad and didn't realize the wonderful value of these adjustable torsion bars.. i could have gotten low long long time ago with hardly any cost. I used to always look in truckn' and mini truck at the 'drop kits' and noticed there never were any for our trucks, just drop blocks for the rear so i assumed at a young age that there was no such way to drop em' or not enough market to make a kit for them.
haha well you learn something new everyday right? well atleast ya got it low for now... in a few months it wont be low enough and the bodydrop savings will begin
i say cut the "finger" end off and use em as a pry bar!! lol it's not worth keeping them around once you're on air. you'll end up modding the tranny x-member to lay out and they won't bolt in ever again.
this is the straight truth!! lol first torsion and blocks is fine, then spindles and remove a leaf... then bags, and next thing it's still too high... lol
