torson bar suspension
 
I have a 2006 chevy 1500 extended cab with torson bar suspension, I have checked other 2006 trucks they do not have the same front end or the same type of steering. I almost forgot it is two wheel drive. Anybody else have this setup. The rear springs were replaced they are not your regular 1500 springs they were almost $200 more than the regular 1500 springs, the truck sits higher in the front and rear than my buddies truck he also has a 1500. His has a stock suspension???????:chevy:

Do you have a K-member under the engine? If not, I'm thinking maybe your truck is a converted 4WD to 2WD with 2WD hubs and minus the 4WD running gear such as transfer case, etc.

I expect you have what my '04 has - "Sport suspension" I bought my truck new, it had the option listed on the window sticker and I never gave it much thought till I started trying to buy shocks and they were wrong. I ended up buying shocks for a 4x4 and they fit. In reality I think it is a tahoe suspension. It has a much firmer feel than the standard half ton. I like it a lot, I just wish it had the rack & pinion. Best I can tell this is a rare option.
