Looking for universal torsion bar style anti sway bar kit for my truck. I want to be able to throw in stiffer bars when I do track days and just be able to adjust it to the different tracks it may see.

I think the closest to "universal" that you'll find is the 3-piece circle track offerings. You can either vary the center diameter if you tune with solid bars (and you'll also have to swap chassis brackets and bushings) or you can use tubular bars of constant OD but differing wall thicknesses. Either way, you can play around with the attachment point along the arms and get quite a bit of tuning range that way.

A word about the arms. If you decide to use aluminum arms, get the ones with the steel inserts for the splines, as I think they'd be a bit more durable.

You'll need endlinks, and there will be some custom fab involved, but nothing really complicated.

Don't underestimate the loads that will be applied to the chassis brackets (and that in most installations one side or the other is being pulled away from the chassis putting the bolts in tension). Easily over 1000 lbs at a significant roll angle with a big bar.
