suspension gurus - sway bars..
Thinking of running a splined swat bar/torsion bar in the front of my truck. One problem though, there's a million different rates.. Which one would be good to run? Starting point? Wanting something a bit stiffer than what a hotckis bar would be.. As I'm running not the stiffest spring in the world.. Any ideas?

You might try sending a PM to member/vendor robnolimit.

I called speedway engineering and had those guys set me up with a bar that has many rates above and below it in the same size.

Re: suspension gurus - sway bars..
Try using a 1 1/4" dia. x 48 spline bar. Start with a .188 wall. once you have the mounts and arms fitted, swapping to a stiffer, or softer bar is easier. I use these a lot, but there isn't much room in the parts $$ wise. Go direct to Speedway Engineering, or www.1speedway.com they can help you out. - you can use normal, street friendly urathane to mount the bar.
