Crossover with swaybar?

[Stomis]

With 47in lift springs the sway bar makes no difference.

Put some 52s up front and I and many others have said that the trucks become almost unmanageable with the roll in corners. When I made a 90* turn I used to have to slow down to 5mph or the truck would stuff the opposite side front tire. Jerk the wheel side to side like in a panic top avoidance maneuver and you could easily loose control.

If for some reason I ever had a square body again or for that matter ever build something with 52s up front I would 100% run a sway bar of some type.

Hmmmmm.

I drove from California to Nebraska on 52" front springs and never experienced anything near that scary.

When I put my ORD front springs on, it was like driving a bouncy boat around the corners with no sway bar.

I put my fancy fox shocks up front, and I can take a tight corner at speed and hit it like my car for the most part. Just the shocks alone made that much difference over the rough country nitro 9000s I had.

I have 56's and junk 7 year old shocks and can drive it fine.

No issues with to much sway or unsafe feeling at 55mph

My ord springs upfront and no swaybar with 5100's drive me crazy. I contacted ORD about a swaybar setup and was told they wont offer it. Contacted DIY4x and never got a return email.

Really wish some one offered an antirock offroad swaybar type setup for our trucks with cross-over high steer.

Try better shocks. Much simpler and a better mod all around imo than a fancy sway bar like an anti rock etc.

FYI bilstien 5100s is on the low end of shocks imo.

I get that, but at this point with work and school I dont end up getting to go play offroad much. I would rather just run a good swaybar.

If there was a good shock option to bolt into ford shock towers I might go that way, but that still leaves my rear suspension majorly lacking in performance. It is extremely noticeable even with my current setup.

Without a sway bar I am chewing up my front tires with all the axle movement and body roll on corners.

If you don't use it offroad, whats the point of crossover?

Sell crossover, put stock swaybar back on with drop brackets, buy some decent shocks with the leftover.

Cruise the Vistas.

Because of the god awful turning radius with a lift?

I still take it off road, just not all that often.

I don't see how wanting a good offroad sway bar is such a big problem. Jeeps, etc run them all the time.
