Re: Should I have a sway bar on a bagged truck.

The nature of air bags is to be a progressive spring, meaning that as the outer corner compresses the spring rate will go up. Essentially a sway bar does a similar thing. But, s someone else said, if you have a sway bar run it.

Are you running on the low end of the recommended air pressure? Your ride height would dictate your air pressure, and if you are running a low ride height or a lighter vehicle your air pressure should be lower, which might mean a lighter progressive spring. I would think you would need a sway bar more in this instance. I know even with my heavy duty 3/4 ton springs the sway bar made a BIG difference when I added it.

What shocks do you have? I put Ridetech adjustable shocks and that made as much of a difference in my opinion because I could adjust them how I preferred my ride. This might be a better option for the already progressive air bags.
