Default Want to stiffin up the suspension..

Well I want to make my 1/2 4x4 not squat as bad. It seems like everything makes it squat.. I cat afford new or to get rid of the pick up.. canI use 3/4 ton rears? Front is okay I can get a leveling kit or something.. but the rear needs help.. an I dnt think it has a sway bar in the back like the bigger trucks do is there a kit for that?

There's not a lot that you can do that won't also lift the truck. If you ok with that, then I would just recommend an AAL. If not, you could try those Hellwig load helpers (cheap), or better yet, air bags (expensive). You could also try a spring re-arching, but that probably won't help much.

want to increase load carrying capability without increasing unloaded ride height ?
want to add load carrying ability w/o stiffening unloaded ride.
want to eliminate that unmanly looking truck squat ?
want to get the front end back down on the ground so it doesn't skate around ?
want to tow that heavy trailer or camper w/od dragging the bumper ?

here's your answer...

I am with Silver, get those add a leafs...tough country sells them for $50.00 it will lift the rear 2 inches but if your putting spacers on the front your truck will be level. I did the same thing to mine and I am very happy with the stiffness of the suspention. its just right for a 4X4....my opinon of course..
