ECE front swaybar on ECE brackets. Everybody with these trucks for street driving ought to put on swaybars as their 1st modification; best bang for the buck for improving the overall driving pleasure IMO. Also, are your bags isolated from each other's air supply so as not to let air move between bags with shifting wheel load?

Re: Body Roll With Air

What kind of air system do you have? If you only plumbed a two way system, (one switch front/one switch back) and T'ed the two front bags together and T'ed the two rear bags together,... you will get alot of body roll. You are transferring all the air from one side, (of the truck), to the other side when you go into a corner. That's why most people run a 4-way system. That way you have air going to each bag seperately. I suggest the ECE front sway bar brackets (lowered version) or NO bracket at all. Just attach the sway bar bracket to the frame. Also use good polyurethane sway bar bushings.

Re: Body Roll With Air

Hey bud. I bought a performanconline front sway bar. I love the ride. Big diameter tube and very very wide compared to my buddies sway bar. My is 2 1/2 inches in from the rims. It is sweet. Maybe I can get some time for a pic.
