What was the benifit of the zr2 tbar. i thought they were the same part.
The ZR2 bars are thicker and have a stiffer sping rate. They get rid of the "bunchy" feeling from the fron end.

I went to the local salvage yard. They were about $40.00.

Do the ZR2 t-bars fit right in or what did you have to do to make them work?

No the torsion bars are cranked about 1.5 inches. The BDS 5 inch lifts the rear 4.5 inches and the front 5 inches and the shackles are 2.25in lift so the rear is higher than the front. I havent gone through any front end parts yet but thats because its all new

new half shafts, ball joints (upper and lower), Idler's, pitman's...

I should be more clear. I didnt have to replace the front end parts because they were bad... I did it because the truck has 120xxx miles and since I had the front torn apart I figured I would just replace them.
