how often do rear coil springs go bad? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The weight split on these trucks is a good bit front and and will seem WAY different then anything you drive. I have a long bed with the tank behind the rear wheels and I can feel the difference between a full tank and an empty tank. Have you got a sway bar on the front? Many did not and that can make a sweeping turn fun at times. Your truck is safe and as long as you drive it like what it is and realize the limitations of the more than 50 year old design and what it was designed for you will be good.

No. That is coming soon. I'm considering a rear sway bar as well. Obviously It would help with the handling in general but do you think that would help at all with controlling the bouncing in the turns?
