2500HD front suspension...

Okay, the rear seems simple enough on this truck(many options), but what about the front?

I would assume that you can' t just replace the shock with a Shockwave, as the upper shock perches aren' t designed to hold the weight of the truck... or are they?

Any insight?

Okay, I see the kit for the front, but how does this all work with the torsion bars still there? Do you remove them? I noticed the control arms have a provision for them...

Sorry for all the questions...

What we have done on the 1 tons is put a 1/2 ton torsion bar in and put a shockwave in place of the shock. It is strong enough. I have had several guys use this kit for the 3/4 ton. The front is the same but the rear requires some modifications, the frame rails are shorter.

So at it' s lowest hieght, it uses the torsion bar, and you just raise it from there with the shockwave...

Makes sense...

Thanks for the info.

It will use the Shockwave and torsion bar at all times, fully deflated it sits on the bumpstops.

So what year truck do the 1/2 ton torsion bars come off of?

The new HD' s. I can give you the part #' s if you need to order them. You also need the keys.
