Sway bars
Are sway bars actually needed on a lifted 4x4? I have a 1976 K20 w/6" pro-comp springs front/rear,energy suspension bushings in everything. The ride is VERY bouncy,will 'bars help this?

Re: Sway bars
Bouncy is not a condition sway bars fix. They fix sway/roll issues. Some lift springs are stiff enough that one wouldn't notice the sway bar disconnected on the road. Soft springs really can use a sway bar on the street because the springs flex so much.
Bouncy issues are from high rate springs, worn out shocks or very stiff shocks. |
Re: Sway bars
Good info.I used the factory wsay bar on my`91 Buburban w/TuffCountry EZ-Rides & Rancho 9000 series shocks.It also has a heavy 6.2 diesel motor up front.The sway bar helps keep in control w/o effecting the ride.

Are your shocks new? Did they come with the kit? Some after market lifts ride pretty hard no matter what you do. :o You could try some 3/4 ton shocks, they may handle the higher spring rates. I once put 3/4 ton springs under a swb 1/2 ton and they totally over-road the 1/2 ton shocks (terrible ride) installed some 3/4 ton shocks and everything was good again. |
Re: Sway bars
Yeah the shocks are new,they came with the kit.I believe they are Pro-Comp es3000's. Have been thinking of stepping up to Bilstiens w/dual fronts,but not too sure?! Thanks for the input!
