Ok so two drives down unloaded and loaded.
First off I also had the front end aligned. It was a mess thanks to Livermore Ford ( do not go there) each wheel was off spec in every possible measurement by over 1*
That said: I had a clunking in the front end, the sway bar bushings were shot. That's gone. The poor steering response loaded and unloaded is gone.
Unloaded if felt like I was driving a new truck, no lean no feeling of front end dive on a hard corner. butter smooth response in a emergency braking test.
Loaded: no front end roll on corners going slow and turning hard or sweepers at speed. Same went for speed bumps at an angle one rock then a small jiggle then done. I was thinking that my Ranchos might have been worn out, nope it was the sway bar.
I still have a have more sway than I would like but I believe that the same condition exists in the rear OEM bars as did the front
I cannot wait for the rear Roadmaster sway bar to ship July 1 and my Rickson wheels to arrive.
Yes I have little kid in the candy story syndrome
