Latest update - I've driven about 1,000 miles since the install, mostly highway towing miles. Not much has changed as far as how the ride feels. The stiff front end isn't too bad for on-road comfort. I have 0 miles off-road since the install, but I imagine it is not great for articulation. I...
Of course....further update is that I have completed the install of the following:
- non-air ride torsion bars
- KYB Monomax 565088 front shocks
- rear coil spring spacers
- 315/70/17 BFG T/A KO2s on stock 17in wheels
The front end feels quite stiff. Not sure how much is due to the KYB shocks...
Did you end up keeping the KYBs or trying something else?
I'm experiencing the same front end stiffness with these shocks after replacing the air-ride torsion bars w/ the non-air-ride torsion bars. I also installed rear spring spacers + torsion twist to make room for 35's, so curious how much...

I just want to chime in - I'm working through some electrical issues on my '01 EB and the symptoms point to the GEM failing. I replaced it with an eBay GEM (with identical part #) but it did not fix any of the issues I'm having. I hope you have better luck than me!
I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, but I found your post very helpful and informational.....I just bought an '01 EB that was equipped w/ air suspension but was converted by p.o. to coilovers in front and springs in rear. I had no idea the torsion bars + shock lengths are...
