Never played with torsion bar lifts so my questions are:

1. Are the Chevy and Ford torsion bar suspensions similar in design?

2. Is the torsion bar tool the same for Chevy and Ford?

Thanks
 
1. Similar in design as far as the idea behind it, and the fact that they both use the same size hex end on the bars yes. The only parts interchangeable between the two are the keys though....stock F150 keys give 2" more adjustment UP on a Chevy 1500, and stock 1500 keys give 2" more adjustment DOWN on a F150.

2. It all depends on which tool you get, there is a Ford ONLY tool that will not work for GM/Dodge, then there is a giant C-Clamp looking tool that works for GM/Ford, and can be used with an adapter to fit Dodge, and then there is a universal tool to fit all.
