Ride Quality: Just a Moot Point?

A swaybar on a lifted truck just rides like crap IMO.

Most aftermarket springs are a different length from spring eye to center pin, so the swaybar binds. You have to use a disconnect to fix this, even if you don't use it to disconnect. Even with disconnects and lubed bushings the swaybar does seem to make the front a little stiffer on bumps.

So would BDS with Bilstien 5125 would be the next best to ORD/Alcans?
Too bad BDS doesn't make their spring rate info available.

Yeah I think so.

Agreed. I just throw the sway bar in the scrap pile. I tow 10k with a lifted crew and no sway bars. Never once felt unstable or like it needed the sway bar. Also rides better and of course steers better because it has crossover steering
