Id like to get rid of the mono leaf rear spring on my sport in favor of the 4 door leaf pack setup. Mostly for a stiffer ride for less body roll in corners, also less bounce on bumps. Will the 4 door springs fit the Sport?

Maybe even some stiffer torsion bars later on down the road. Perhaps 4 door bars? I drive this truck like most would drive a Mustang, so yeah.
 






the 4 door springs will fit. the torsion bars aren't different from sports to 4 door so that wouldnt make a difference. You'd have to find just a plain ole stiffer set. They go from A-F(?) in measure of stiffness. If you do a search you'll find more about the torsion bars (maybe in the main TT thread)
 






Ive read something about how the bars were rated. I figured maybe like a 4 door 5.0 4wd would have the highest rated bars. Ill have to read that thread again.
