Help lots of body roll best way to stop it

My truck has drop spindles and lowering spings in front factory control arms the rear has 5 inch drop springs and 2 inch blocks . 20 inch coy wheels low profile tires lowering shocks from ccp . Is there a good sway bar set up for these trucks ? The drop is a 5 7 and everything on the front end is new and I used energy suspension bushings in the rear trailing arms .

I just dont know who has the best sway bar parts

Thanks Tim

I'm using a factory 76 1.25" sway bar. Sitting on the bumpstops helps alot. Moving fuel tank lower and farther back helps. These trucks need sway bars bad.

X2 on the sway bars - it made a huge difference in my '67. But they're gonna sway a little. They're not Ferraris, that's for sure.

Along with a total front / rear suspension rebuild I also picked up their CPP front and rear sway bar kit.

Im most of the way through installing the front but expect dramatic improvement over the stock "jello" performance.

agree! Sway bar is a must....start with the front and then if you feel you need more add a rear bar too.

I used Hellwig front and rear sway bars and poly cab mounts, new cab ( and core support mounts ) are key to having a tight truck along with having a close ratio P/S gearbox.
