It really is amazing how much a sway bar changes the handling of these trucks. Completely different experience going through a corner.

Yea its nice taking a corner and not having the back end feeling like it wants to lift the inside tire. The biggest difference so far is over bumps, dips, railroad tracks, stuff like that. With the opposing shocks the *** end really moves around over that stuff. Now it stays pretty damn straight.

after 4" drop and no c-notch, i was bottoming out pretty often, but after the sway bar, it's not nearly as bad. it will still hit the bump stops on straight across things, like coming out of parking lots or over speed bumps, but the dips on one side of the road in a corner don't bottom any more.

Bought this from Amazon. Gonna use it to mist IC. It also can be used to inject water through pre-turbo tube for cooling and engine wash.

So to add to the DJM rear sway bar I installed, I had 2" shackles/keys, and new Bilstein shocks installed. Made a HUGE difference. It's almost like a new truck!

Also had these installed. My truck is stupid loud now when I get on it. But it's time for a new muffler anyway since my $25 summit bullet is pretty much worn out.
