Unfortunately you need to have shorter shocks (compressed/extended) when you lower your truck so the Bilsteins wont work depending on the specs. I have2x4 drop with stock rims/rubber & 3x5.5 on my race rims/rubber. For shocks Im using the so so Nitro Drops at 4 corners and Comp Engineerings 3 way adj drag shocks up front for track use (modified/intended for mid 90 camaro)
Couple links to sway bars

Eurethane bushings can help reduce body roll as well though they can be a bit noisey.
Tires with a higher traction rating will improve cornering but at the cost of decreased lifespan

Ill take a look at the sway bars. I doubt ill lower the truck. A-i dont like the way a lowered truck feels. B-i dont care for all out performance. Its daily driver first and foremost. Eurethane bushings were also on my thought process, but i dont know if its going to be worth the gain for the lack of comfort. Thanks for the links. Btw, whats the dia. of the stock bars? The tires i have now have an A traction rating i believe. 110 load, V speed. A trac, A temp, 420 treadwear. Thats what I have upfront. Same specs and 10 mm wider in the back. Thinking of getting a dot drag radial for the rears, as the weather is pritty unchanging this year.

You can play........but sliding your truck on a public road, while going 100-110 is just plain idiotic, I don't care how good your so called ability is. As Fire/EMS, I see peoples abilities wrapped around utility poles, or rolled 6-8 times across fields, or the worse ones like missing a curve and going through a house and killing a child.
