That brown truck seems to like making my day, or evening. I get home from work and along comes my friend in the brown truck bringing goodies.

Managed to get the Hellwig swaybar installed between the raindrops considering it's gonna be raining for the next five days on and off. It went on rather easy and was a perfect fit, almost like it was made just for my truck. I set the links to the last setting and it feels nice and tight but not in a bad way. I took it up to the construction site to get some flex on the body to check for squeaks, bumps, rattles, creaks nothing but nice smooth performance.

Thanks, it really tightened up the rear even after doing the RoadMaster Active Suspension, the true test will be when the pavement dries up a bit for the cloverleaf cornering.

So awesome. Yours is the only truck I'm aware of (there must be others, but...) with both the rear swaybar and the RAS.

You have increased the rear roll stiffness by a good amount but not at the expense of spring rate or ride quality. I can't wait! to hear what you think.



yeehaw!

How much rake did you gain with that roadmaster active suspension? Looks good.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with both either. The only ride difference I can feel is when going over speed bumps, there is no double bounce afterward, it goes over and stops almost instantly.
