    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    Yea... I noticed a little mark on the L/H frame- bushing bracket, from a "tap-tap".... Just a little massage to fit... Just like home construction.... nothing is actually square.... You have to make it fit.

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    You just described my '05..... * Also, in my mind, when I see a 'not new' Tahoe / Yukon, and is all stock, and very clean looking, I see it as a well-kept truck,... not messed with. More valuable.

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    The Hellwig bars fit easily front & rear on my stock '05 Yukon XL... Are you saying, the bars don't fit as well if your truck is raised or lowered?

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    Yea... the stock front sway bar is a hollow pipe. Good bushings won't improve the cheap bar.

    I can relate....... After years as a 'performance driving instructor', ..I learned a good handling vehicle will get you away from a 'problem'. ( Avoiding an accident.... You steer away from the problem first. Then slow down if needed. Just slamming on the brakes, ...you loose your ability...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    After installing the Hellwig rear sway bar & front Bilstiens, Today, got the Hellwig front anti-roll bar & rear shocks..... Feels pretty good.... I heard, it takes a few miles to break in the new shocks... I had it done, at a NICE custom truck shop..... They charged only an hour's labor. (...

    2005 Yukon shock conversion

    In short.... Nivomat or other "adjusting - height" shocks are more firm as they are more of a supporting - weight shock, so the springs are softer.
