NOT IN THE FOR SALE SECTION!!!!!!
On a side note, you have to remove torsion bars to feed them through the holes, will those holes fit the HD torsion bars? Do you have to disconnect the drive shaft to fit it in there, where does the top plate mount? I need more info!!!!! You're killin me smalls.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Hmmm. I'm guessing that yoke-shaped part in the middle slides left and right with differential flex...if that pin is removed. Otherwise with the pin in place the whole system is locked in place and the torsion bars are anchored as per normal for road use. Very interesting. I would love to try it.
[Edit] Duh, the first pic shows the pin out and the yoke part off center...can't quite make out how the torsion bar mounts swivel to accommodate this movement, but they obviously are doing it.

No, you don't have to completely remove the torsion bars, (but it does make it easier) they just need to be loosened up...
Unless your "Adjustment Keys" are different than the OEM (torsion bar spline count/size), they should work fine with HD bars...
No, you DO NOT have to remove or disconnect the driveshaft to install.
In the pics, the green parts are the parts in the Kit...it is mounted on a crossmember in some of the pics to show how it is positioned in the vehical.
Install takes between 1-3 hrs depending on your abilities, tools, and how dirty/rusty your VX underside is....

I didn't want to add to the sell thread, do you have install instructions. I was looking at the parts, and thought that the torsion bars had to sleeve through the big holes.
Do you have to drill any holes? (I don't mind, but that is a big deal for some folks)
Does this affect ground clearance?
That contraption looks pretty heavy duty, sweet! Look for my order on the 1st, still moping from spending 2K on the F250 rear end rebuild, but this kit goes higher up on the list of wants...even higher than my gooseneck trailer

The torsion bars are splined on the ends, so yes they do slide into the big holes, unless someone has changed the keys to non-OEM size, the kit will fit.
NO DRILLING REQUIRED!!!!
Does not affect ground clearance, as all the parts in the kit are positioned ABOVE the crossmember.
Thanks for being patient, this has been quite a project!
