Rear mud flaps keep the chrome tips pretty. BTW I hate you.

with the lower center of gravity,45 series tires,upgraded front sway bar bushings,and rear sway bar it it holds a curve very well for a truck.

The only thing I'm surprised you kept is the rear mud flaps, but it doesn't look bad anyway.
thanks man, i love the wide rear tires. used toxic shock part# 419500. had to do a shorter shock because the monroes were bottoming out. got to have the mud guards,they help keep the paint on the truck,and keep the stainless tips pretty . lol

i bought a set of spring compressors from JC whitney.just ground out the ear alittle to fit the springs better. i think they were under $20.00 they have worked pretty well, i've had the struts out 3 times.just put some grease on the threads and use a wrench no impact gun.

Default What are these parts?

Hi Scotscan,

Can you please advise what the upgraded front sway bar bushings and the upgraded rear sway bar are??? I'm having some issues and thinking about replacing the f/r bushing (specifically the sway bar link bushings)... Is there some "upgrade" rear sway bar available?

Thanks!

upgraded front sway bar bushings,and rear sway bar it it holds a curve very well for a truck.
