Walt,
Thanks a ton for this info. Are these part numbers stamped on the tbars?
Since both V6 and V8s are available in the 2000lb set, I would only assume
that the V8 2000 bars would be the best to get. Right?
I am going to need to start search around, cause my current bars are maxed
out and cannot be cranked up any more. I have them only adjusted up 1" also,
but over the months/years they sag, thus needing to be cranked up more and
more and more.........hopefully I will be able to get some V8 2000bars on
there and still have plenty of room for adjustment. Are the bars just
'pushed' into the control arm and the rear anchor location? If not, how are
the bars set into their respective mounts? Basically, I want to find out if
this is something I would be able to do!.? Thanks again, I am going to check
to see if I can find any numbers on my stock bars, but I would bet they are
the wimpy 1450 bars. Thanks again!
