Times eleventy! Not terribly expensive, either. Get a Hellwig sway bar. They're great and easy to install.

 

Thanks Mike for seconding that. It's nice to hear more than one positive vote. I think I'll definitely look into Hellwig. The cost of the sway bar should be offset by the reduction in Gravol purchases...lol. Kidding it's not that bad.

Although my 3 year old asked why "the new truck" is so Wobbly. Out of the mouth of babes as they say.

Much appreciated.

 

yep my rear sway bar really helped with body roll.

 

Hmmm.. if it's that bad I gotta believe you shocks are just shot. Mine has a little roll but its not that bad unless im trying to nascar it around a corner. Bet when you switch out the shocks it helps a lot.

 

Shocks will do nothing for body roll. They're intended to dampen sharp changes, not gradual ones. If they've gotten really sloppy, they'll tighten up the ride.

 

Agreed, I'm not expecting big improvements from body roll or that side to side motion from the shocks. That being said I MUST get rid of the OEM set up, therefore Step 1 is Bilsteins. Step 2 will be the rear sway bar.

Thanks boys, I got my marching orders and will report back when done!

I appreciate the input.

 

Is that sway bar a direct bolt-on, or is there drilling required?

 

No drilling on the Hellwig. The BellTech wants holes in the frame ahead of the rear axle. The only thing not in the Hellwig instructions is to run the nuts all the way down the threaded rods BEFORE you crawl under to mount them. A little WD-40 or similar will speed that process.
