    Not messing with taking my sway bar off,I learned a long time ago that all these modifications destroy the value of your truck.

    To remove the swaybar is just a few bolts, and it's 100% reversible. If that's the reason you're leaving your swaybar on, it shouldn't be.

    It's for increased articulation off-road, but comes at the expense of increased body roll on-road.

    Beacuse the one is "rubbing"?? I kept ripping them so i got silicone ones put on. theyre a bit longer than the stock ones, so they just look weird. unless you see something else.

    My bad...didnt fully read OP's post about miles. it did feel a bit slow. sorry:canada:

    Ah... that makes sense. They just look like the fins would be wearing b/c of the position they are in. Didn't know the were aftermarket one's. Just looking out :)

    I had the swaybar off mine for awhile because of the hype on here and because I thought they were rubbing against something. After a couple days of city driving I put them back on because they had too much body roll for my tastes. I'm sure I would've gotten used to it but I don't see why I would want to, I don't off-road and more body roll doesn't appeal to me on those tight off-ramp spirals and suburbia curves. I didn't even feel comfortable letting my wife drive while it was off.

    And yes I had beefier springs, Ironman4x4 Performance springs specifically (2in lift, 863 lbf/in spring rate).

    Uhhhh, why in the world are your springs rated so high? Do you have a tank for a front bumper?

    I only wanted 2" of lift and these were the middle of the road spring rate offered by these guys (669/863/960). I should've done a little more research before I bought them but I was kind of in a rush at the time and I wanted them rated a little higher for a plate bumper later. Haven't gotten there yet though.

    That's insane for our trucks. The normal OME coils are 590, and their 886s (can support a plate bumper) are 660 lb coils. Some running performance coil-overs go 700lbs if they've got a whole lot of stuff. Does your truck ride like a dump truck?

    It's pretty fucking stiff lol. Corners like a beast though. According to the manufacturer my springs were "only" rated for an extra 0-50kg (110lbs). The 960lbf/in Constant Load springs were for anything over. But that kind of goes to prove my point: if my stiff ass front end had body roll then I can't imagine how some of the other guys can claim they don't.

    I don't know. I can't do them myself and taking it back to the shop would probably mean my wife leaves me.

    If you're lifted, take this to the dealer and have them re-calibrate your VSC.
