alpha t-bars

[digglesworth]

I see a 93357121 and a 15906134.
Can someone verify the correct part #? And just to be sure, there's no left and right is there? Just get 2 of the same? And can anyone briefly describe the process to remove/install a t-bar? Never done it before.

They are side specific (are labeled L and R) and have different part no's.

 

[Bigunit]

I can confirm the part number later tonight.

 

[digglesworth]

Great. Thanks Luis. Getting an order together for all the parts to rebuild my front end..

[digglesworth]

Can you post the part numbers you have Paul?

 

[Bigunit]

OK diggs, here's what I got for you after just dragging my sore, tired old body under my rig - the Alpha torsion bar part no's. - Right side # 93357122, Left side # 93357121. I also confirmed these part nos. on parts.nalleygmc.com.

To remove torsion bars:
Jack up front end of truck so that the tires are off the ground (support at frame, not at lower control arms)
Remove bolts from torsion bars (where you crank 'em) about halfway back on truck
Get your head up in there and look at where the key is - check out the angle, take a picture if necessary. You'll want to reinstall the key in exactly the same position
Push the torsion bar upwards and the key will come out of the slot in the cross member.
Pull the torsion bar to the rear and the key will come out of the lower control arm
The key may be stuck to the torsion bar; it just takes a good whack to remove it.

To reinstall, reverse the above and be sure to have the key in the same position as it came out, i.e "pointing" to 1:00 or whatever position it was at, when you reinstall.

Thanks Luis and Alex.

Oh c**p. I have two of the same part number on order. I need to fix this and get a left and right. Thanks for this info. Where were all these alpha bars for sale two weeks ago when I placed this order?

 

[954paulo]

Yup big gave you the numbers. Same ones I have

 

[digglesworth]

Is there a difference in the bars for an H3T vs the bars for an SUV?

 

[Bigunit]

No difference. In fact, my H3T OEM base t-bars were part of Alrock's H3 suspension makeover and are still going strong.

 

[digglesworth]

Just making sure. Everything I see says 5.3l, h3t... Getting my list together for the front end rebuild when the rancho kit goes in...
