    Haha thanks you guys are great!!!

    So update on the ride quality without sway bar. As you guys predicted I liked the feel of it. You can feel it a little bit going a little harder around the corners. But normal driving I don't feel that's it's off. As far as potholes and imperfections in the road, it truly does help dampen the impact of those things. Drove down a particular street in my neighborhood where there are a lot of little bumps and imperfections and it felt quite a bit nicer to go over. Overall I'm predicting that my sway bar days are in the past although I think I'll keep it just in case. Can't wait to try it off-road!

    :woot: Knew it!! I actually think you should look into a high clearance rear bumper next.. Your truck is long enough already and need a better departure angle haha heck you can probably make one yourself.

    Hahaha. After I hook up my CB and my fuse block and stuff then I think that will be the next mod. I have some thoughts on how I'm gonna make it. On Monday when I went wheeling there was a few times where I cleared my rear bumper by less than an inch so I think a high clearance bumper will definitely do me some good!

    I knew you would love it. I keep mine in the corner of my garage. The performance of your truck will change drastically.

    Haha I really do like the feel! When I pull up in the drive way and stuff it feels smoother and not as rocky and bumpy. Simple things like that can make your daily drive that much better.
