   Yellow bar is the beam and the rear ARB is inside that. The two smaller bars are the torsion bars. Standard ones will be 18 or 19 mm thick at the thinnest part depending on the model there off. Uprated ones will be 21, 22 or 23 mm thick. It is easy enough to measure them with a set of callipers to see.
