Have you ever heard of getting rid of the sway bar in front?
TRE's are easy to replace. Moog's aroe about $25 each so not even all that bad to replace.

Yeah you can get a big improvement in wheel travel with the sway off. On my Jimmy it's worth about an extra 200point on the ramp. Without the sway it will ramp 839 on a 30 degree ramp.

My truck is soft enough that you really notice the sway off. Some folks ditch it and never look back. Even though my 4x4 is mostly a trail truck I still have 1-2 hour ride to the trails.

I run www.offroaddesign.com sway bar disconnects. Stephen Watson from ORD is the GM 4x4 owners best friend. Hard to beat his prices and super guy to deal with. www.ck5.com members get a discount.
