Question Bags & Sway Bars

Okay....probably an easy question to answer, but here it goes. If I was to install an AirRide bag kit, would I still be able to install front and rear sway bars? Or are they even necessary? I'm not wanting to lay frame or rocker, but I just want a nice stance, with ground clearance if necessary. This is not a daily driver.

Thanks!

Yes, you should be able to run bars, especially if you aren't going to be laying the frame. You might want to think about using ones with spherical rod ends to add some additional flexability without binding, but only if you think you might do some frame laying later.

As far as I remember, you can install the bar. And if you are not running individual controls, you most likely WANT to install the bar. I mean, if you are gonna run just a front valve up/down, and one rear valve up/down, then the air pressure can 'transfer' back throught the lines to the opposite side as you round the corner, allowing the truck to body roll. If you run seperate valves for each bag, you shouldn't have any issues, but the sway bar is still a nice addition. I am sure that the BAG experts will chime in and add a ton more detailed information to this.
