2WD lowered body roll

lowered my 2001 taco SR5 3/4 and still have really bad body roll and rear feels loose any suggestions and i was looking into the ebay turbo kit not looking for huge boosts any opinions

 

Pls use periods

 

Upgraded sway bars?

 

no I haven't it only has factory front sway bar any suggestions

 

Hi, and welcome to TW. First off, were going to need you to do a few things;

• Provide more information about your truck. 5 or 6 lug?
• What sway bars are you currently running? Springs? Shocks appear to be doetsch, what model? have they been valved for your truck?
• Learn to use proper punctuation and complete sentences.

As for the ebay turbo kit, there is plenty of information retrievable with google. It is NOT just a bolt in kit despite what the ad will say. Lookup URDracing.

 

Its 5lug, factory front swaybar. Spring are doetsch all came in a kit

 

did it come with new rear springs or just blocks for the rear?

you can install an aftermarket rear sway bar to help with roll (Hellwig is an example http://www.sdtrucksprings.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3790)

 

came with 4in blocks

is that swaybar kit all I will need to put a rear sway bar in

 

You are going to have weird axle wrap with 4" blocks. Consider a rear sway bar and a beefier front, reworking the rear suspension for links, or at the very least ditch blocks and move leafs, and also I am not familiar with those shocks, so have no opinion on them. But would gamble tuning the shocks a little better would also help.

oh, and the springs are ALSO by doetsch?

 

yes

 

just to be honest you lost me I do all work myself but dont know to much about lowering thats why I bought this kit

 

Post pics of your truck and the suspension ​

 

Unless you add weight in the back, the rear is going to feel loose. If you're dropped 4in with blocks, I'm not sure how much weight you can safely add before the axle/diff housing starts to hit the underside of the bed, though. Also, what's the spring rate on the front end compared to stock? If the drop kit came with softer springs, that can add body roll even with retaining the stock sway bar. Also, there's probably some cross-reinforcement that can be added to the frame which will help some since trucks aren't really built for torsional rigidity the way sports cars are.

Keep in mind, there are going to be limits to how well you can make anything based on a truck chassis handle on the scale of all vehicles out there.

 

ok I can do that tomorrow thanks

 

I think it came with new front springs but left the factory springs in the rear and just added the blocks, is this correct @dogystiledx ?

at least that's what I gathered from the info on that link page.

if so then the stock leafs are still kind of soft.

 

yes I did

 

couldn't really figure out what leaf springs to buy I was told 4x4 leaf springs would be better but i didn't know if it would affect the 4in drop

 

Get Trac bars....
