    well guys my battle with Toyota Canada ended and I am stuck with my patched frame.

    So instead of paying Toyota for new sway bar mounts and welding them back onto my frame, and replacing my end links, I was wondering what front coil over set up would reduce my body roll? I don't want any lift as my truck sits high enough for my use. Don't need bigger tires to reduce my mpg
    Shock valving plays a large roll in this as well (reducing body roll)

    I'm in Canada as well, and not looking to spend a ton for the best, just something that works.

    I prefer the articulation without the sway bar honestly, but if a deer jumps out infront of me @60 mph I fear for my safety. Lol

    Don't know what the back ground is you're alluding to but if you're only concern is body roll you should find a way to install a new sway bar. You'll never be able to balance normal suspension articulation and body roll using only the coil springs. It will always be too stiff or loose in one respect.

    I know people on here are running different coil over setups and with stiffer springs and better shock valving without a front sway bar with success.

    Was wanting to hear more from them about their setups and such

    I am confident with my driving. Just if a deer jumps out infront of me it's going to be a wild ride.

    I have ran many off road toys (ski-doo) and currently a wildcat sport without front sway bars, but like you say, they all had low speed compression dampening adjustability.

    I'm just looking for experience from people with various shock/coil set ups that come with better valving to reduce body roll

    without any lift youd need an expensive coilover to get the right coil. you could weld on some sway bar mounts for under $100.

    I might end up doing that. You price them at a Canadian Toyota dealer?

    that was just a guess. you can buy universal ones though. just measure the diameter of the sway bar and buy online.
