Hello,
Sorry everyone, but yet another question regarding spring kits.
I'm hoping to get some help with a suspension decision
I'm trying to make. I recently purchased a 93 Toyota 4
wheel Xtra cab. It has close to 200k with sacked out
springs but the truck is not otherwise abused. I'm
trying to decide what torsion bar spring kit to buy for
it. I'm not interested in lifting it over an inch or so.
I live in Northern CA, it will see plenty of dirt roads
and moderate trails but nothing to extreme, I have an 85
toy for that.

I'm leaning towards the ARB old man bars, springs and
shocks. I'm also thinking of going with sway-a-way bars
with 2" Downey springs and maybe Bilstein shocks?? I
want the truck to ride as smooth as possible on the
washboards. Ride is important since I normally have to
drive a couple of hours on the freeways, which are
getting to be rougher than forest trails these days, to
get to the mountains.

Than you. Any input, suggestions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Ball joint spacers might be a better option for the front. Unless you have a heavy front bumper/winch, etc. the heavier torsion bars will can a rougher ride:

Of course if your existing torsion bars are worn out, then upgrading might be a good idea, but bigger is not always better:

4crawler,

Thank you for the responce. The point you make about a bigger diameter bar is mainly why I haven't bought anything yet. I think I'll get the rear springs and try to crank up the stock bars then evaluate what I have. It looks like the front was lowerd down to match the rear anyway. The stock bars may not be to worn out. As it is now the truck bottoms on the road, it'll be pretty much usless on the forest roads.
