I have to replace the torsion arms and perhaps the bars on my 95 xe. I have found a 96 pathy that is available for parts and was wanting to know if any one could tell me if i could use the same parts off the 96 for my 95? Also i am looking for a canadian after market parts distributor.

A '96 is a totally different vehicle than the 95 and older trucks.

as DR said its a different body style, but you can use a D21 truck up to 97.

I don't think the d22 torsion bars are compatible with the r50.

The R50 has struts in front.

I have found instruction on t- bars replacement yet is hard to replace all the parts that hold the torsion bars and should i go after market or stock with the new torsion bars?

Whats parts are bad or you don't have? I should still have all the torsion bar stuff left over from my axle swap. Most of the time you just swap out the t-bars themselves for stiffer ones. If your interested I've got a used set of swa-a-way t-bars gathering rust at the shop.

To be honest unless you plan to add some weight on your front end you wont need(have a use for) stiffer bars.
