Definately a bone yard. These trucks are a dime a dozen now, most of the bone yards around here have multiples of this truck. I think that any bars from this year will fit it, may have different spring rates though. I think the spring codes are stamped on the ends of the bars, try to match them up.

Well this is news to me could you post the part number for the 7700 torsion bars please? I would love to get a bit of lift and level up front without cranking the bars anymore.
