oh ok i see. that makes sense, except in your case silver. When you hit a speed bump, that 'slapping' your hearing is probably your shocks being maxed out and bottoming out, isnt it?
Stiffer torsion bars are just going to make it slap more often, isnt it?
I guess it would help a lot to ride in a VX before and after to understand.
I'm not trying to hate on your thread or upgrade, i just want to understand why they are worth $500? I mean, generally on a VX, if you are really cranked up for a big lift, your shocls are going to be your limiting point on your front end, not how far the spring will push the a-arms, right?

Maybe I'm just not describing the "slapping" very well... I'm really not sure HOW to describe it.
Ok, here's another crazy analogy for you:
Remember when we were kids and we used to have "pencil fights"?
One person would pull back tension on a standard #2 pencil, trying to break the opponent's #2 pencil.
You'd have to pull it back with a lot of, and just the right amount of force, so that it would push through the opponent's pencil sharply and quickly... with a "slap".
Now, there was always that one kid that had that one "SPECIAL" pencil... the 1/2" thick pencil he won at the arcade with a bunch of tickets from skee-ball.
When this pencil was pulled back, there was very little bend, a lot more downward thrust, and a much heavier hit.
So, the #2 pencil aggressor = my 14-cranked stock torsion bars.
The 1/2" pencil = the HD torsion bars.
The opponent = the road.
Wow... I come up with the craziest analogies. LOL
