torsion bars

I was curious if any one has a problem with the torsion bars being to soft. I have a six inch lift procomp. I have even tried to crank the bars up and it helped but it did not fix the wishy washy feeling that is has. does any one have any ideas? thanks.

you need a heavier sway bar possisbly add one in the rear if the body roll is what your not liking

When you say wishy washy is it side to side body roll or up and down. I see from your sig that your trucks an 02 if the shocks are old and worn out they may be causing it.... Just a suggestion....

What kind of tires are you running and at what psi? We have lifted a ton of trucks at the dealership and had only ride quality issues with the different makes of tires. Have you checked all of the weld's on the lift?

I am running 315/75/16 BFG/AT and around 35 to 30 psi. I have not looked at the welds yet.
