Went back to a diffrent GM dealer he said discontinued too. He dug a little deeper and used a number to get a number long story short he can get me a stock rubber unit in 5 to 6 buisness days. So I'm glad for that! Sure wish I could havegot it in urethane. So the fronts on stands also. Take it apart while I wait for those GM bushings. Lol. Ive just graduated to a smart phone, no computer yet. :-D

I've battled torsion bar removal twice now, and lost every time. Had to remove the whole works and use a torch and sledge hammer to get it all free. If you are doing a lift, you can resort to cutting the keys with a cutoff. Then split it open with a punch and that should work. If you are trying to keep the keys, good luck!

Went to a wrecker out of town picked up some T-bars and keys off a ZR unit. So gonna cut through the old ones at the key. My T-bars were 1053lbs torque. The ones I picked up are just over 1800 lbs of nominal torque. Much thicker bars.
