I'm guessing that there isn't that big of a market for the super hard core wheelers to have IFS, plus OME makes some pretty sweet torsion bars.  Hopefully mine will be in soon!

I don't remember Marlin ever offering torsion bars  :headscratch:  But, I believe there were only 2 companies who made them, one of which is swayaway, who still makes them.

Is there any way to convert from torsion bars to a coils spring type like whats in the tacomas? and is there any advantages or disadvantages to it?

IIRC, Total Chaos has a kit, but it isn't cheap by any means. 

If you aren't running a heavy front bumper and winch set-up, the larger sway bars are really too much.  Also, with the availability of ball-joint spacers, running the 26mm sway bars and pre-loading them for lift has gone to the way side.
