I recently sent the Titan on its way,and bought a 2014 Silverado 2500HD Duramax. It is not a 4X4 but has the Z71 package so it sits up pretty high. I know I will need a drop hitch, and I don't mind using the one I have, but will I need to worry with these damn torsion bars to control sway?
The torsion bars are to distribute the weight not control sway. They do make sway control. I would continue to use the torsion bars.
