Before I order I am also curious about anti-sway bars. I appear to get rubbing on both rear wheels when cornering. My thought is that a stronger sway bar could possibly reduce or eliminate that.

That being said will it adversely affect my ride? An what the best sway bar to get?

Thanks

I am thinking of upgrading my rear sway bar too. How are the belltech bars?

Tony can you send a PM on the price for the rear sway bar.

ok will have to install the springs tomorrow and see how it handles. Fedex didn't deliver until 5 pm today so it was too late today to do it plus it is was like 15 degrees today.

Will be doing it tomorrow for sure. Will have to fire up the Mr. Heater "big buddy" heater and maybe get the garage up to 50 degrees.

When I installed mine it was 39 out (Texas) and I has my heater rocking, no garage either just out in the drive.

Good luck.

Any Tony you think it will ride better (cornering without the rubbing?)

I have the DJM front and Rear sway bars with a 2/ 3-4 drop with the spacer in. The difference in handling with the sway bars is pretty amazing. I wasn't expecting my hoe to handle corners the way we were beating on it. There is no body roll, it handles like its on rails, and thats hard to say for a SUV this heavy. I'm not sure if there was a big advantage to going with the front sway bar, but did cause i found a good price on both. Definitely get the rear atleast, and combined with the drop, you will be suprised how well these trucks can handle.

One question i have for Tony, that i plan on addressing in a few weeks when i have him to some work on the suspension is that my installer said he couldn't move the new sway bar over with my DJM rear hardware kit because it would hit the passenger rear shock. Instead he mounted the drivers side DJM sway bar endlink back in the original hole, and not in the one that was drilled according to DJM instruction. Any reason the sway bar should not work properly the way i have it now? The DJM kit moves the sway bar over to the right by 3/4 inch. However, it still handles like a night/day difference.

Well just finished with the install in my 34 Degree garage with snow still on the Tahoe!! After install I sit about .25 to .5" lower in the rear. Don't look bad but I notice it.

Tony would it be bad to run the 1" spacer on top and a 1.5" spacer on the bottom to bring me to perfectly level?
