i had thought about getting them for my TA but got rid of the car right before i bought them, thinking it will help with my truck and handeling, i know it will decrease my offroad performance but oh well, as long as i have 4x4 i'm ok

Hotchkis front and rear sways and bilstien shocks I believe.

I have a TA diff cover on my truck and a hotchkis rear sway waitng in the box for install Ill let you 4wd guys know if it works or not.

I bought the sway bar to help with body roll since my truck is up kind of high Im going to drop myt ruck some to help with this issue so hopefully after the drop and rear sway it will handle alot better.

You can get the hotchkis sways from pretty much any aftermarket website that sells suspension stuff.

I put hotchkis front and rears on mine and it make a world of difference on handling(much faster in the corners, doesn't dive nearly as much etc), and the ride (stiffness and such)is still near stock. best money I spent so far.
