Sway Away Torsion Bars

[Slik]

Has anyone ever used the sway away torsion bars?
They are $100 cheaper than the old man emu torsion bars.

I have a set on my LC. They 1-2 mm larger in diameter then the OME bars and like most HD bars they are a bit stiff for a stock truck. Mine felt noticeably better over the road after adding my TJM T13 bumper (I was already running dual batteries).

Thanks. For $100 cheaper than OME I’m leaning toward the sway away.

When you do replace the torsion bars consider adding the reinforcement brackets.

Yeah, mine came in black, not red. Also they're stiff af on stock weight since they're +2mm over OME. If I were to do it again, I'd probably go OME because I'm way oversprung.

By OME do you mean OEM? Original equipment manufacturer? By OME I mean old man emu. The sway away would have the same specs as the old man emu correct?

Very cool! $21 bucks for the pair? Not bad!

No, OME - Old Man Emu. I mean OME too.

Old Man Emus are 30mm diameter. SAW are 32mm.

I wouldn't recommend to go SAW unless you're going HD bumper, winch, skids, and 2nd battery.

I'm taking mine off when I have the time, and going to a OME TB.

Ok great! That’s the info I was looking for. Thanks!
If they are that stiff I’ll spend the extra $100 on OME.
