Ever since I lifted my truck, my torsion bar crossmember has been taking some punishment. It's normally the only thing that hits the rocks and what not when offroading. I've been wanting the Realift T-Bar relocators for a while, and finally got them. Here's some pics:

Before with the T-bars hanging down:

Afterwords....just the procomp braces hanging down:

Picture of the transmission crossmember. I had to drop it down with 3 grade 8 washers to clear the tbars. I was hoping not to, but I guess because the ProComp is a full drop, I had to do something:

And a last one of my Amp Research boards since I've never posted one:

It may be in my head, but the ride with the Realifts is a bit better. I had it cranked about 1.5" before, and the new Realifts are indexed for 2" of lift. I now have both bolts almost all the way out, and I'm at the same height. The keys are pretty much resting on the stop, so since they aren't loaded as much, it seems softer. Might be in my head though. :D

Next plans are to attempt to move up the subframe supports. I'm hoping to at least move them to the top of the transmission crossmember, but I may have to move some of the exhaust. Long term plan is to make a totally new crossmember that will fit above the frame rails. I'll be testing out the new ground clearance on Sept15th at Rausch Creek Offroad park.

Nice looking truck, you don't see many green one's.

That looks awesome! Two questions for you....where di you get then, and for how much??

Thanks

Looks much better! Always did like the green color. Is that a crack in your transmission crossmember or just the angle of the picture?

Go out and look under your truck...yours looks the same way. It's just one piece of metal on top of the other...no crack


freyguy- looks great! Did you do the cutting on your bumper? Looks good, I bet people who don't know better wouldn't even notice it's cut.

truck looks good i have been think of doing that and those pics just make me want it more now did you have to move the crossmember back any or does it just get put back in the stock location

Thanks guys. They were $279.95 plus S&H from Sam's Offroad. And yes, just the way it is welded together.

I had to move the torsion bar crossmember back about 3", but if I did it again I would move it back about 3.25". My frame now looks a bit like swiss cheese with the holes in it between the factory location, the procomp drop brackets, now the new ones. I might reinforce that area just to be safe, but it should be fine.

Looks great! and that Green looks good too..

Looks much better but I still fail to see how those things work! I understand how the Cognito and Roughcountry do it. Now your TB is going to be moving side to side instead of twisting like it was designed. Someone please educate me! If it actually works, I wonder if it will work with a 6" CST that I plan on getting one of these days.
