Issues with 24's w/ Pedders lowering springs?

[2010_5thgen]

No. I love it. It rides very similar to stock just lower. And a bit more firm. I'd like a bit less roll in corners. I think I need away bars.

The djm sway bars do a fantastic job but thank you for that information.

Have you done free travel mod?
What did you do about bump stops?
Do you have the rear hardware kit?

Basically if you don't mind can you just list all your suspension modifications?

 

[2010_5thgen]

suspension mods are just pedders springs, sway bar polyeurethane mounts and endlinks. the bump stops that came with the kit were not installed. i forget the exact reason why, but we didnt need them. whats the Free travel mod?

by the way, i love your wheels. im going to be selling these 22's this winter and getting 24's and having them powdercoated white.

The rear bar is the one that really gives a large improvement over factory. The front ones gives a slight improvement, but it is not worth upgrading. The oem front one is almost just as thick as the aftermarket front one, while the rear aftermarket bar is way thicker than the oe rear bar.

I couldn't even feel a difference when I switched them out the front bar that is.

the front is needed. you may not feel it, that just shows how bad the rear is, but trust me, the front needs it. where is all your weight that your throwing into corners? the front. i had eibach sways on my 02 escalade and really noticed a huge difference. i get alot of parts at cost, so ill be doing the front and the rear.

Well I had the rear bar on for a month before I put the front one on and when I put the front one on I couldn't tell a difference.

The read however made a huge difference.

I think you are right in a way as well as wrong.
Yes the weight is in the front but the rear center of gravity is much higher causing my body roll for the weight.

 

[2010_5thgen]

if your leveled, your center of gravity is way better than stock....either way, front sway bars will be noticed if you pushed your truck into corners. of course the rear is noticed more, the bar is much much larger. ther reason they dont do a larger bar in the front, than what they do, is because you will get oversteer....aftermarket manufacturers dont want oversteer for their customers. most customers woudlnt know how to control a car, let alone a huge suv, if it went into over steer

I have one inch rake.
And honestly for a huge SUV with these sway bars and my lower profile tires my Tahoe handles like a champ.
I feel in control at all times no matter how fast I'm going. Of course I know how to drive I don't go in to 90 degree turns at 80 mph

I agree the front bar makes a difference, but that difference is quite small. If I got the bars at cost, I would be more inclined to do the front bars if I felt that I would need it. These SUVs are not very fast unless they are turbocharge/supercharged with aftermarket cams and torque converters, along with a tune and what not. I have none of the above so I more than likely will not be tearing up corners unless I just feel like driving irresponsibly. If it was for a PPV/SSV vehicle, then both bars would be the best.
