This is the size they list

I thought Gen1 and Gen2 torsion bars were different lengths. Didn't GrassCat try to install Gen2 bars and they wouldn't fit. May be wrong <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I know there were some made for our trucks, but they have been discontinued for many years now. Someone will know, but i cant recall the length myself. Any numbers to sway a way? Ever checked into Iron man torsion bars?

Dodge 4x4/Raider 1990-1994 27.5mm 53 13/16" 1737 $220.00 Yes you can get J/Y T bars but they are not the super duper improved aftermarket Sway-Aways.. i can go to any local junkyard and get both torsion bars on any year montero for under $50. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> but still...nice reference <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Also I belive there was a running change in the lenghth of the bars in the Gen 2's which is why they're listed as goin up to 94 in the Sway Away catalog. I know there is a member here with early gen 2 bars in his Gen 1 LWB. I think it was Sparkem.

May be wrong <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> You are right, but, the bars I was trying to install were from a 1996 SR. Here's the post Gen II to Gen I swap update. I have not tried the non SR swap yet, need to find a set and do some measuring.
