There is a stack of flat springs that are stacked in such a way to form a square. The end of your arms have that square. Those rods go all the way through from one side to the other with a set screw on the end of each arm. The thru rods are round bar stock with nuts on the end. Thus they don't get fit the square in your arm so the arms just rotate on the rods. The nut keeps the arms from coming off. No torsion springs (flat bars) means you have to run coil or air shocks.

So if that's the case widening the beam would be fairly easy thanks for the info

Yeah that picture is very helpful do they seem to hold up to a lot of abuse and what size should I run 1/2 or 5/8
