For my Fabtech 6" lift I was quoted $1300 for install with no alignment. Found a guy on Craigslist who did it for $400. Just as a side note the lift it self was $2900.

Much stronger and you will come out cheaper than a really tall suspension lift kit and get rid of those stupid torsion bars.

Just my .02 cents

Are torsion bars really so fragile that they're worth getting rid of in favour of a coilover?

It's not that they are fragile, they are just obsolete and outdated. They can only be a single rate spring, and you can only get so much travel out of them.

If you looking to hardcore off-road getting rid of them would be best. If your just looking to jack your truck way up, its not neccessary.
