RE: cornering
Or if you are like me and need the truck still at stock height for pullign trailers....I snagged some leftover Koni shocks and a Hellwig rear sway bar (with adjustable links) and put some 255/60R15's (Firestone SS20's are very good tires for summer playtime and towing) for summer. Come winter the Koni's, rear sway bar and teh 255's are replaced with stock shocks and stock tires.
I have a fibreglass shell on my std cab V6 so I have about 250lbs extra over teh rear axle so teh rear doesnt get too tail ahppy like it did without.

RE: cornering
in this order:
tires
anti-sway bar
shocks
springs
chassis stiffining
you want to corner you need to first get better tires. go with BF goodrich
reduce body roll-find a bigger anti-sway bar
start there. shocks and springs are beyond your scope
but its a truck buddy, not a race car...

RE: cornering
I know its not a race car, but I figured I could get it close to an R/T setup right?? I mean if I cant afford and or find an R/T the best I can do is get mine to act and behave as close as I can RIGHT? BTW u guys any ideas on where to find a dyno around South Texas?

RE: cornering
I offed the stock R/T set-up for the Hotchkis. Much better suspension... lower as well. Check SoCalDakota.com or send an e-mail to performanceparts@***.net Sam Parthemer will fix you up if you're serious about this.
