It would take over .750 differences in rear to front before you will induce entry under-steer.
If you ever get exit over steer in this monster I want to be way out in front of you
Preferably another zip code would be OK.

I got the Hellwing front it says for 1999-2003 for my truck its a 2004 but they said it will fit, and the Hellwing rear as well. Figured do it once instead of getting the rear and going wow great differenece i wonder how much better it would be if i did the front one to. Ordered about 2 hours ago cant wait to get it in and bolt it up. Hopefully it will make a big difference since i dont have anything in the rear right now...thanks for all the input to on this....

--I didn't know how much it would take, but I did know that at one point in the past it was more front and less rear 
Is there a good internet source for these mechanics? Inquiring dieselheads want to know 
OH--the bars did make a huge difference in handling too--doesn't wobble side to side like it did and thank the good lord for good shocks after that trip through Oklahoma-- and JD--you thought ARKY interstates were bad????

You know I was just thinking of another proof that the stock shocks are bad....
I had to rotate my tires at NO MORE than 5K miles for the first 20K or so or else that would start cupping.....
hated to do this because of the possibility of getting warped rotors from imporper torque every time they were rotated....
but it's been over 10K miles since I last rotated and no cupping....
only difference - new rancho 9000's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shocks are real big in handling...I believe in the stock ones so much...I left them on the truck for a long one hundred and two miles...at which point I figured they were wore out.

BF Goodies Rugged Trail T/A on the steel rim with nice chrome covers. I knew I was going to buy new at some point just not ten minutes after the ink was dry on the sale so I opted for inexpensive rims.
