Title: 2 stage torsion bars? or just long, beefy ones? WHO MAKES THEM!!!??
Post by: Slick on August 27, 2011, 06:13:01 AM
So, I am having a HUGE dilemma here... after several emails with Trail Master (they made my original 4" Sl lift 13 yrs ago lol), I find that the torsion bars I am running on King are NOT part of their lift, nor do they know who makes them or where to get more.
I really need new t-bars BAD, and these t-bars have withstood much more abuse than a stock one (if they even fit!) could in the same amount of time.. so, does anyone have ANY ideas who makes these, or where I can get more from?
Here is a pic where you can see what I'm talking about. stock t-bar from the front, that goes into a splined tube, which mounts factory into the cross member.
I have sent Jim Conner Racing an email in the hope that they are a past product of his from his Nissan racing days..

*edit*  the email I received from Jim Conner this morning;

Rachel,
Yes, we made the two stage bars many years ago. I sold that company some time ago and I am not aware of anyone doing that any longer.
I would be glad to help you if I could.

Yup, Jim Connor was the the company that was making those that i'm aware of.

Although they aren't 2 stage... sway-a-way does a great job.
