My oole heap is rough riding . Sounds like it went through a 12 inch ditch when the hole was mabe an inch deep. Also driving around a curve feels like its gonna roll over. Has new shocks new tires 245x60 15 some thing like that for tires. My question would new coils help (has Trailing arms) am sure the coils are original. Mabe a shorter spring all the way around? Not to happy with it at the time I feel like it could be better. Thanks for any help here

Get a sway bar up front. Junkyard find and your lower front arms and frame are probably already drilled for it.
