T-bars

So I want to replace my right front t-bar before I lift the truck. So probably better off just getting two new ones. The right one sags pretty good. Anyone know iif I get get t-bars from anyone other than ford? I doubt there is much of a market for aftermarket torsion bars but just thought I'd check.

Are you sure it's bad? Or just not tight.

It's sitting about an inch lower on the right side. To the point that my 265/75 tire rubbed enough for me to have to trim. Most people fit 285's without rubbing. The bolts are tightened equally (same amount of thread showing).

My 98 F150 is doing similar. The left side sags (more with a load). This machine has done extensive desert offroading. I replaced the rear leafs and gained about 2 inches of ride height back. (Factory leafs). Front is maxed on adjustment as still notably low. So I am looking to replace the bars as well. I heard a rumor that the chevy bars hold up better. But I cannot find information about swaps.
Ford quoted about $60 each. But could not tell me that it was the correct part. Flaky parts guy.
