Question Radius Rods

I have been searching and trying to find [Landyot's] radius rods.
It sounds like I need to get on a waiting list, but I cant find where to do this.
Could someone please help? Or is there another type or brand that may be better?
Thanks for your time
Jeff

I have Landyot's radius rods installed on my X. Best thing I could have done! The truck now handles as it should, towing or not. I think a lot of people don't realize how bad the drift is until they get these radius rods. I highly recommend them for both comfort and safety!

Yes virginia they really, really do. There is no comparison whatsoever, cornering, straight-ahead on the freeway, off-road, whatever. Really. I put them on a nearly brand-spanking-new 2005 AFTER I put the best ($440 worth) shocks, best tires and it came with front AND rear swaybars.

The radius rods were by far the most important for handling. I tow boats/planes off road endlessly and haul a wife and five kids all over. I have over 25,000 miles on my 2005 Excursion, NONE of which are commuting miles. I have no commute.

Get them first, then worry about the other stuff.

My $.02

Well said Quietman. I tow a 31' TT and it was just plain dangerous before I installed radius-rods.
