Hey Fast Andy -
You are driving in a box.  You may want to add a front sway bar. They can be had from LMC. http://www.lmctruck.com Other than that, stiffer springs/shocks may help. Good luck!------------------ joel 78 C10 Currently: 250/TH350

Raise the bench seat with some steel blocks. I did it with some unistruts. Raised it 1.25 inches. I love it!!! Just bought longer bolts and some washers. Change the shocks. They probably don't work anyway. Use some Monroe shocks. Best on the market if you ask my opnion.
