Really soft ride!
So I have had my truck out on the road for a few road rides to make sure I have her buttoned up and the flex is unreal! To recap I have about a 6" lift and have replaced the stock length springs with 52's in the front and 56's in the rear. I also made sure I used the softest springs available.
Honestly the body roll I get is a little un-nerving at times so I'm thinking of going with a quick disconnect swaybar setup. Anyone running something like this and have some pictures?? Looking for vendors, cost, experiences, anything that might help make the install as painless as possible.

Re: Really soft ride!
I have the ORD disconnect on my K5. I have driven it on the road disconnect, and even with a 4" lift, it can be unsettling. Emergency maneuvers might really suffer.

Re: Really soft ride!
If you don't mind me asking... is this a daily driver/weekend warrior rig or a dedicated trail truck? I've been considering doing the same suspension swap on my '71 and add a sway bar but I continue to receive mixed ideas about its performance for a daily driver.-steve
