pm trever1t he has a hookup through a wholesaler. he did a writeup a while back about those bumpstops and can give you the number to his hookup. here is his writeup on his bumpstops and street and performance shocks.

yep torsion bars need the bumpstops. those belltech 4923's are the ones i have and mine rides better than stock. Just set them up so the a-arm is just barely touching the bumpstop.
The torsion bars see the same preload whether they are cranked up or de cranked way down, because the vehicle still weighs the same. The torsion bars are still twisting to the same degree that takes to support the weight of the vehicle at any ride height. The only time you can add preload is when they are cranked way up beyond the a-arm being bottomed out, cranking the bolt even though the a-arms are at fully down will add a preload to the torsion bar and will make for a really nasty bouncy ride.

I'm planning on running drop keys so should i get the shorter belltech 4922 bumpstops or stick with the 4923?
EDIT: 4922 are 1.26" tall and the 4923 are 2.01" tall according to the belltech website
