Hey guys, I have some issues with front ride height on my rig. I have the tbars cranked with keys and barely hold factory ride height.
According to this link my bars are right in the middle for available diameters.

Any ideas on where I can get some of the beefiest bars?
Specs: (aka challenges)
1.16" torsion bars
Rough Country 2.5" lift kit (new torsion bar keys)
Passenger side torsion bar bolt bottomed out
drivers side has 2 threads left to stay even
I have about 200lbs of additional bumper weight, a 120lb winch, 2 huge alternators (every lb adds up!) cast iron front diff (in lieu of the stock aluminum housing), and my precious all cast iron vortec L31 v8 poking an additional 4 inches further forward.
I'm sure theres other heavy stuff on the front end I'm forgetting.

I found this: NOS OEM GM BAR FRT TORS 14056384 | eBay
I have a set of 170K mile bars on a parts bravada I'm gonna try and swap in and see if it's just age.
