2002 ex what now

2 years ago I put a Jasper v10 engine in Hog, my name for the2002 4 wheel ex.This year I had to put new air conditioning in hog all fluids changed from end to end and new Firestone stock tires. my question is do i go head and do the v/b mod and change my bushings and steering gear on hog or cut my lose.I also just put a hellwig rear sway bar on a few days ago. It improved a little but still wonders when towing. I just found this site a few weeks ago and love it . My name refers to the money I have spent on the ex. Thank you for listening. If I do the mod I want to keep the height as close to stock as I can.

i would start with a red head steering box. Check your front sway bar bushings they are known for going out. The v codes up front will stiffen up your ride and make it drive better from what i have heard. I havent done that mod. Check your ball joints also for any play.

What is the problem with it? Weak springs? If you've got a new engine, tires, clean fluids, etc... then maybe a new set of springs might be a fart in the wind compared to selling it and having to look for something else that'll need repairs aswell (if used)...

I would read through this before doing any more if I were you. Might answer some questions and save you from buying a new gear box.
