Thanks very much for the info John and Rowin'. Much appreciation for the heads up.
Here's another question. What have you guys done as far as mounting the frame connectors. The rear attachment point is at the rear frame rails (set at 26") and it should spread out towards the front to meet where the front rails mount to the x member. But, If I do that, I don't think I will be able to get the torsion bars out. Besides getting rid of the torsion bar setup, what is the solution. No room on the insides of the torsion bar mounts to fasten them (I don't think)??
