Good suggestion, I checked the bed and cab torque spec is 40 lbs for the bed and 60 for the cab. I was in an accident a few years back where I know they had to remove the bed so I was like omg that has to be it! Unfortunately its not. the bed is way over the recommended 40 lbs pretty sure they just buzzed those bad boys on with and impact lol. The cab was also at the 60 lbs. I ordered the rear control arms last night after checking the bed. After that the only thing left in the rear end is the panhard. After that I guess I start replacing more stuff in the front end lol.

Just incase someone else runs into this same problem. Replacing the rear control arms fixed the problem. When I took them off the rubber bushings where way shot. You could grab the center insert and wiggle it around a lot with just your fingers.

Thank you I currently have swapped out front struts and rear shocks with fox 2.0s front upper and lower control arms with Mevotech TTX , and installed the rear coils with TTR1223V, and still have sway. I will try Mevotech rear control arms.
