Eimer, looks like even the 4-link rams have rear sway bars.

Guess they do, Did not think I saw one the last time I looked under them. Good find.

 

No worries man. It's weird how some trucks come with them and some do not. I would imagine that Dodge would incorporate the rear sway bar on the TRX4s and offer a quick disconnect for them. That would be epic. But what would really bake my noodle is a sway bar disconnect for our front end links.

 

The rear sway bar is a freaking coat hanger anyway. Even the new 1500 Rams use a wire size bar. Total cheap out.

 

Agreed. It looks like a third of the diameter of our front sway bar. Oh well, it won't be missed. I live in CO and wheel frequently. Even on the mountain twists, I don't notice a difference at all. Honestly, if one were to drop the truck (cardinal sin here) and use it as a street driver, then it would help a little. But to get use out of a rear sway bar, that person would need to get an aftermarket bar made that is at least twice as big, and adjustable.

 

Aside from high speed cornering (and maybe towing) you're not going to notice rear sways much. Higher profile tires are going to offset most of the gain you would notice from sways in any case. That sidewall flex is is more noticeable going around corners, imo.

 

I don't see much sidewall flex anymore (load range E @ 55psi). I used to with the factory tires.

 

i just check under mine and there isnt one, i have an ST, maybe the previous owner took it out? never had an issue in the past 4 years

 

There are NO third party rear sway bars for GEN IIIs ((of course))! There where for GEN II & Is and every other truck but not ours. I was told by the dealer that running load E tires is to stiff for the truck and load D at the most could be used. Load E is said to be a ten ply and D eight ply. Our trucks are specked at P radial not LT according to the recommended OEM install. The 2006 Dak TRX-4 came with LTs as in BFG TA AT KOs and change in 07 to P radials as in BFG rugged trails. The LT or a E loaded tire is said to have too much physical weight and will cause suspension and axial barring damage over time. ((According to Dodge Dealer)). Many of the jeep line are using parts designed to allow heavy tires when I asked why a small jeep can get away with large very heavy tires and wheels. My take on this is crap talk by the dealer but I would believe anything with these trucks.

 

I bought a set of LT-275 17" tire and wheel take offs from a Ram 2500 Mega Cab, but the back spacing was wrong for my Suburban, so I decided to put the tires on my Dakota. They are load range E, and stiff does not begin to describe these inflexible beasts. You would never miss the sway bar with these tires!

I am running them at 35 psi, which is the best combination between tire profile and the bump steer caused by higher inflation. I have been running these for 25K+ miles with no adverse effects on the suspension. I am running the Trailmaster lift and Rancho shocks in the front, and Monroe Sensa-Trac (load levelers) in the rear.

No more "E" range for this truck!
