I have a 4 door 99 chevy tahoe obs. I recently installed 6" rcx suspension kit. I came to realization that my torsion bars are worn out and even at full crank the front end of truck settles out and sags down.

I was going to order new torsion bars but I found these and I am curious if these will work?

Sorry that is like buying used leaf spring packs. There are somethings you just don't do. Do you have the t-bar codes handy? Usually a 2 letter code that starts with the letter g.

Get them form the dealer or perhaps a reputable leaf spring manufacturer.

More like keys where the indexing is off enough or advanced so to speak that it creates an extra amount of rotation on the bar while the key will remain in relative the same position on the crossbeam. Does not really fix the issue but is commonly used to get some extra suspension lift in the front. Often at the expense of ride quality.

Ford keys could do the same but as sunlit stated, it is not fixing the issue
