shortbed swaybars
i have replaced all the suspension bushings with energy suspension polybushings front and the back trailing arms. i will be running 20"rims lowered a little bit, do sway bars make a difference in handling on these trucks?

Re: shortbed swaybars
From what I've been told.... they make a world of difference. Currently my truck doesn't have one, but I think it will be an upgrade here in the not to distant future. I was strongly suggest adding one to your suspension ASAP!

Re: shortbed swaybars
Front bars from a 3/4 or 1 ton up to 1987 at a yard. They're 1.25" dia. Then spend $30 for energy suspension bushings.
Follow my sig link for the Camaro rear bar info. |

Re: shortbed swaybars
sway bars front and back make a huge difference in handling. I got mine from Performance Online. Check out this link;http://www.performanceonline.com/sto...me.php?cat=786
