Did you say a sway bar? No wonder you get 1.7 60' times! I'll HAVE to get one now, to keep up with Adams!

Mine already has a rear sway bar, but are these Hellwigs stronger? ANYTHING to improve the already near sports car handling

Good idea. Do you think the mounts would be compatible? Is your front bar larger too?

my front axle and suspension is identical to a f350, but it has bigger brakes on adapters for the wheels.


i think its the same sway bar as all urs. the back is the only difference. its made to have 20,000 on it, so they have monster parts back there. talk to the parts guy next time ur there, he could tell u the diff in 2 min

That will be on my agenda when I pick up my truck. Anything that keeps the back end from twisting assists in drifting stability; drifting is about the only realistic way you can take one of these trucks and keep up with alot of sportscars in the turns (so far, my best competition has been my bud's BMW 318is). It is horrible on tires, but is very effective.

I would also like a set of traction/ladder bars. They suit the on-road purpose as well as off-road.
