        I think it is going to be worthless. If you need someone to take that to the recycler let me know.
        Looks good man.

          I'm curious to hear about how the swaybar works out. I managed to stiffen up my handling by adding dual shocks out back and reservoir shocks up front but the real test will come next week when I drive up to the mountains loaded with gear again. If it still wasn't enough with the better shocks, a sway bar may be on my short list.

            The good news is I found out that my rear tires at max stuff in the wheel wells have about 4 inches of room untill contact. I need to make room up front and lower the thing at least three inches. Time to modify the front inner fender wells.

                Think I'm gonna extend them all the way to the forward support and move the front bodi mount to the frame and cut out the stock one. That should do it.

                      Just finished welding up the sway bar. Went in very easy. Only had to re make one tab.
                      Pic's later.
                      Oh Yea. Just in case you didn't know, It's Freakin Hot Out There!!!

                        Man was it a hot day under the welding helmet today.
                        Cut the bed away over the coil buckets to allow the truck to be lowered. Moved the tabs for the lower links from the spring pedistals to the lower links and put some tennis balls in the springs. An old timer trick to help dampin the springs. Guessing game now as to how many I need. Easy enough to puncture them one at a time until I get it where I want it

                        Also picked up the tach from Karl. Thanks bud
                        Enjoy the beers

                            Interesting idea with the tennis balls. I have more problems dampening rebound than compression on my setup, but you gave me an idea about bump stops for the front, if I find that I need them... some kind of solid rubber balls inside my front coils might do that job well.

                            So now you're talking about lowering your rig? I can't keep up T. I do like that sway bar though... very nice.

                                Did you just tell him that his balls look funny? Too much information!

                                The sway bar looks great Tony! Have you driven it yet?
