       Both my Daks are 2wd with coils.. Yuck.. grew up with T-Bars on
everything.. much simpler to work with.. As for finding the different
bars. The junkyard will be yoru best best. and keep in mind there may be a
difference in CC and RC as well. Remember. The bigger the truck.. the
stouter set of springs it'll have under it. I don't think the 4x4 was
available with the 2600# payload.. but if it was.. The ideal set of bars
would be a CC V8 with the 2600# payload.. And when you pull them out of teh
other truck.. make a note of which was which.. they are NOT interchangeable
from L to R.
