Keep the sport a street truck.

i wanna keep my 2017 Sport M/T a street truck. Is there a rear sway bar for them? The 17” rims are really nice for holding the road but the extra $40.00-$60.00 for tires sucks compared to 16” rims. Any suggestions on anything that could help?

 

I'm wondering on the tire size myself. I noticed that the 265/70/17 size is a crap ton cheaper than the stock size. I just wonder how much power loss there is from an extra inch of diameter.

Edit: I'm sure they make rear sway bars, but I wouldn't want to put one on. I have rear suspension helpers on mine for towing, I love it except for the potholes. That stiff suspension sucks on rough roads

 

Yeah but tires should last long enough that the extra money is worth how much better the 17’s will look.

 

The extra tire cost is easily made up by skipping Starbucks once or twice between tire changes.

 

True. The less tire+more rim=same size=more control=more felling the road=harder ride. It’s all pluses and minuses for what you want.

 

yes Hellwig makes one and i have it.

Nice set looking set up. How was the install?

 

Thats my plan too, for my SR Access utility. Been around mini's and remembering bench seats. There was a lowering kit i came across that drops 2'. Hoping to install that after warranty.

Go for it. Lowered 3rd gens are rare. I don’t want to lower or raise. I got the extended warranty 7 years 100.000 miles so I’m not messing with readjusting just locking it in.

 

Mine's A/T so no hurry.

 

I’ve seen the opposite, same height and width tire for a 17” being cheaper than the 16” version. Less rubber?

 

That’s what I thought it would be but not around here. Damn it. I’ll keep lookin.

 

No starfucks here just beer and bud bud.

I just went up to the 265/70/17s. It looks like a truck now, drives like a truck now and feels like a truck now. I think the tires make the ride a little stiffer, which is good for me cause it’s slowing me down. It’s the weight of the tires that robs power, but again, I think the truck drives better, at least in my manual transmission.

 

Bump, for the weekend.

 

The rear sway bar is going to limit your rear suspension travel, even over small speed bumps. They’re known to help with towing, but I’ve never seem them help with anything else on a truck.

 

street trucks don't need rear suspension travel they just want to stay flat in the corners, trucks with rear sway bars handle sooooo much better on the street.

 

I’m well aware, but anything mildly off pavement and the sway bar sucks. That fur hunter lives in Maine.
