Body Roll... I had to change my panties

G'day,

I took the big girl for a run on the weekend and coming through the mountains I encountered some extreme body roll. I imagine it would be a similar sensation to riding a fat cow flat out down a hill.

Can anyone suggest a solution please?

One option is a sway bar... http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...-sway-bar.html

Has anyone used these? Are they hard to install? Are they worth it?
Are there better options.

Thanx in advance

I havent used that particular bar but i know on a few of the bagged trucks we have ran, a sway bar made a world of difference in handling and body roll. Hope that helps

From the pics of your truck, it looks pretty heavy. 7/8 bar may not be enough to tame your truck. I don't know how many US trucks are laying around Aus., but there are alot of factory bars that will bolt on with some fabrication.
