Body Roll... I had to change my panties
 
G'day,

I took the big girl for a run on the weekend and coming through the mountains I encountered some extreme body roll. I imagine it would be a similar sensation to riding a fat cow flat out down a hill.

Can anyone suggest a solution please?

One option is a sway bar... http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...-sway-bar.html

Has anyone used these? Are they hard to install? Are they worth it?
Are there better options.

Thanx in advance

I havent used that particular bar but i know on a few of the bagged trucks we have ran, a sway bar made a world of difference in handling and body roll. Hope that helps

From the pics of your truck, it looks pretty heavy. 7/8 bar may not be enough to tame your truck. I don't know how many US trucks are laying around Aus., but there are alot of factory bars that will bolt on with some fabrication.

IMHO, Much better option. Top front, Bottom rear.
