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 |

Re: Help lots of body roll best way to stop it
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.

Re: Help lots of body roll best way to stop it
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.

Re: Help lots of body roll best way to stop it
Along with a total front / rear suspension rebuild I also picked up their CPP front and rear sway bar kit.
http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...ck/6372SBK.htm Im most of the way through installing the front but expect dramatic improvement over the stock "jello" performance. |

Re: Help lots of body roll best way to stop it
agree! Sway bar is a must....start with the front and then if you feel you need more add a rear bar too.

Re: Help lots of body roll best way to stop it
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.
