A spring rate is listed as a force/distance compressed. In the US where we still used pounds and inches, automotive springs are listed as lbs/in. So for every X amount of lbs you add or remove the spring will compress or raise Y inches respectively. Just for fun, lets say the stock springs are 1000 lbs/in. If we remove 1000 lbs from the front of the truck, the front will raise 1". This is an extremely simplified version of what is actually going on. Since our trucks use a torsion bar and IFS, you would really need to know the amount of rotation/lb the spring is rated at and measure the control arm swing radius. Like I said earlier, I don't know if a weak torsion bar is a little relaxed or settled but still has the same rate or if the rate is actually the same and the ends have simply rotated a little away from their original position.

And your tires still want to kiss each other.
all dmax do that on a 4wd launch. yours does the same thing. it how you counteract it. try again buddy
:hug:josh pretty much nailed it it all
no prob. without you actually swapping the bars and trying it, its hard to say what is gunna work best on your truck. there are so many variables we are not even concidering on a launch in talking about the bars only that it may work for you. just cause paper says it wont work or help, doesnt mean it wont. shocks, bushing wear, ride height and weight all play a part in there among lots of other things.
Including massive wheel hop... Lol...
No matter what you have for a suspension setup, if you don't let out of it when it decides to hop your going to break/bend shit...
