yea i bet, but i dont have it, and i didnt want it lol im not gonna go out of my way to get it.

 

So I decided to get a buddy of mine to let me drive his truck today. He's got almost the exact same truck I do except his is auto and has sway bars. I compared it to mine and Sean is right, the sway bars help a ton. I thought my truck didn't have much body roll, his has almost none at reasonable speeds. That being said, the body roll without sway bars is acceptable for me and it's not worth the investment of installation.

 

i had both front and rear sway bars. i took them out to get more flex out of the truck, and i did in fact notice a difference.

 

Thank you I was going to ask all the people saying they had no body roll what they were comparing it to. I had mind disconnected while doing some work and of felt like a school bus. I got used to it and stopped noticing. When I did the repairs I noticed I was driving like a granny. I imagine the bars were optional for some years. Also if removed completely they would leave no trace.

 

your version of a granny must be a rally car driver lol, i dont have them, and i doubt they came on the truck at all because mines as base model as it gets, but even without the bars i still sling this bitch around, the body may roll a bit but shes never lifted a tire haha

 

About your original post, what exactly do you want it to do? The ttb is a very good independent front suspension. If you want it to have longer travel you need longer shocks and springs.

 

yea i know that now, after i looked again i noticed my shocks looked like they had maybe 6" of travel, and i only have about 1.5" of up travel till the I beam hits the bump stop,

as for what i want to do im shooting for 2.5" lift, and 33's
i dont mud, witch is obviously why i was concerned with flex in the first place, most of the wheeling we do is up at browns camp.

 

Where do you drive? This is on los Angeles freeways. Far different from highway or sideroad driving. My commute includes a curved 90* transition non banked that the speed of traffic is around 75 mph with about 1 car length spacing. If you let up someone will cut you off. Then you have to brake before hitting them or you are at fault. This is the highest traffic population in the country.

 

Once you do your upgrades you should be fine. Mud and rock climbing are where the ttb is weak. It can take a lot of impact but the u joints are weak compared to solid beam. However compared to most independents its pretty strong. Just keep the joints maintained.

 

i definitely dont make 90* turns at 75 haha thats insane, most of my driving is back roads at 55, i definitely push her to her limits, i dont really have traffic as a concern up here, sway bars are definitely something you should have when you have to deal with that.
