Well I'm looking for new torsion bars. My driver sided is sagged out and the sticker with the code on it is no longer there on either one. I did some looking online and found multiple part numbers depending on were I was looking. Can anyone point me in the right direction on which of these part numbers would be right for my truck or let me know were I could find a more info on how to find the right ones.
Below is some post from another thread.

There should be a paper tag on the bar with a two letter code. Here's a list of the codes and associated part numbers with their torque (weight) rating.

CHEVY TORSION BAR CODES AND RATINGS:

15048307-LH (code XK) (Max torque 4553)
15048308-RH (code XK) (Max torque 4553)

15048309-LH (code XL) (Max torque 4626)
15048310-RH (code XL) (Max torque 4626)

15712407-LH (code WX) (Max torque 4863)
15712408-RH (code WX) (Max torque 4863)

15048311-LH (code XM) (Max torque 5638)
15048312-RH (code XM) (Max torque 5638)

15528955-LH (code GF) (Max torque 5826)
15528956-RH (code GF) (Max torque 5826)

15058267-LH (code YH) (Max torque 5913)

15528958-RH (code GG) (Max torque 6707)

15528959-LH (code GH) (Max torque 7161)

15712411-LH (code WZ) (Max torque 7267)

15528963-LH (code GK) (Max torque 8615)
15528964-RH (code GK) (Max torque 8615)

15528965-LH (code GL) (Max torque 8782)
15528966-RH (code GL) (Max torque 8782)

15732338-LH (code XG) (Max torque 9054)
15732339-RH (code XG) (Max torque 9054)

Well I think i found my answer, if you click on other suspension parts in gm parts direct i can see the 1Ton torsion bar for the 3500 which is this guy
So i guess i definately bought the wrong torsion bar!:mad:
Manufacturer: GM
Part Number: 19330060
Part: TORSION BAR, LEFT
Part Notes: 4WD, 1 TON

GL bar is the most common on the 2500 and 3500 trucks, a guy on Dieselplace installed some XG's years ago and it was a pretty rough ride. The XG's were used on some 1 ton's with the snow plow package and cab chassis trucks. Call the dealer with your VIN to be sure, the keys are different from XG to GL IIRC.???.

A company called sway-away has some aftermarket bars but the cost was about $1190.00 per pair. The indexing was a splined setup giving you greater adjustability. I'll look for the company information in some emails I have..

Found it, the email is from 2014.

We have a set of these torsion bars that we can ship in a week. These torsion bars have a 2" splined end on one end and we include new 2" splined keys.

The set with keys goes for $1,190.00 per set.

Thanks for the reply. Deff not needing the high dollar aftermarket ones for mine. Looks like the
15528965-LH (code GL) (Max torque 8782)
15528966-RH (code GL) (Max torque 8782)
part numbers have been replaced with
19330060-LH
19330059-RH
Im going to try one more dealer but the last two I have called could not help me. I might just have to roll the dice and order the GLs.

I have a set of a 02' Chevy LT 2500 HD, had 114k on them. Tried them on my LLY to see if mine were junk but they both sat 1/4" from the a arm stop. Been in my garage painted grey for the last 5 years.

Make an offer of your interested, I don't need them, I use them for lifting from time to time.

I have a lot of parts I've had for several years I need to sell or trash.

James I'm running 6" arms up front and a four link and bags on the rear. The pass bolt is showing about an1.5" and the driver bolt is in all the way and I was planning on buying both.

Thanks for any help.
