Personally I would tell you to get adjustable RLTAs. That way if you ever wanted to adjust trailing arms, get some uppers, and you could. Know what I mean? RLTA, adjustable or not, will diffenently "stiffen" up sway and traction control. Beafing up, stamped steel U bars!!! Tube or boxed, but tubes are adjustable atleast, either now or down the road!! Just my .02

Relocation kits- IMO - are a joke!! I know bagged rides not running em, with absolutely no problems!! All the relocation kit does is reposition RLTA back to parallel, pretty much. I've had popping it seems like ever since I dropped my ride, and relocation kit, I thought, would solve it!! Shoulda bought a adjustable panhard bar instead. I feel it would do more for solving "ISSUES" involved in rear end then the relocation bracket does. Again, my opinion, from my situation, with my ride.

Okay thanks Austin! Make sure to do a writeup. Looks like I'll get a panhard and adj arms and see how that suits me. Truck handles pretty bad right now...

32 and snowing... WTH is going on w/ the weather.. Its 80 here and hot

How you like the ride now that its been a little while.

honestly, i hope the bags and adjustable panhard help..

it was me, my buddy and 3 girls, so maybe 700 lbs of passangers(your normal load if you have 5 people in the truck) and my system, which is just 2 12s, and i couldnt go over 60 on the interstate..the truck would start swaying uncontrolably and it was bottoming out and rubbing on every bump...

I dont know how people can run it without bags and a panhard..my wheel is almost sticking out on the pass side and sucked way in on drivers..im guessing thats whats causing the horrible swaying on the interstate, especially with people in the back making it sit even lower..Its a SUV and im always drivin people around or filling the back up..I need it to ride the same with people or without people

and i think one of the shocks might be blown in the rear because it squeaks so loud..if i make the truck bounce at all while its sitting it squeaks so loud it hurts my ears..im gonna check it again tomorrow when i put the bags in..

hopefully the bags help tremendiously, if not i dont know what im going to do..I drive interstate almost every other day and if i cant go above 60 thats not gonna be good..

to stop sway on my truck we had to put 4 shocks on the back plus sway bar. There is still a little bit but no where near as bad as it was.

i never have had it before..with just myself i made the same trip yesterday and it drove fine..but with the extra weight, which must have moved the axle over even more, it was scary as ****...i kept yellin at the girls thinking they were moving side to side, but they wernt..they were freaked out lol

swaying like crazy? something else is going on here and the shocks if blown will leak.

rubbing is due to tire offset/size.

as fro squeaking are the poly bushings greased?
rear springs if squeaking you can get a hose cut it in half and put it over the first loops then test it out.

id look into the panhard bar also but im sure the bottoming out with the helper bags will be eliminated. slap them in and try like 25 psi and see how it feels.

Yea when i first got my truck back, i hit a dip in the road and the mother ****** went to town. It was like sitting in the ocean on a jet ski, and a bunch of speed boats went by. Scared the piss out of me, my girlfriend who was in the car behind me, and another guy that worked at the shop as well who was behind her. That was just with me in my truck by myself. But it seems to be good now. I drove about a hour and a half on highway with my friend in the truck to get it tuned. Rode great and had little to no sway. If it does sway it goes away pretty quick.

when I would hit a bump going over 60, it would just start swaying back and forth like i was jerking the wheel left and right...i would assume this is just from how far the axle was shifted over when i was loaded down..i couldnt even see my wheel in my driver mirror and i could see the front of the tire out of the pass mirror...everything is tight and installed right..it does fine when its just me, but i have noticed that i get a TON of sway...i have new links in front and back, with the new shocks so youd think it would be pretty tight, but it sways almost worse then before...Id guess with the helper bags that will stiffen it up a bit

i know the wheels tuck perfect, since so many people run them...it just rubs on the one side due to the axle being shifted..the panhard should fix both of those issues..

For the squeak, i layed under the truck and had a buddy push the bumper up and down and its my rear pass shock...it will do it for a while, then it will go away...then come back...havent really narrowed down whats causing it..

ya ill get those bags put in hopefully tomorrow...do you think I should do them together, or should i run seperate line for each? my last set up was single, but i may do this one double so i can level it out if i need to..idk
