Why do you need sway bars? Are you going to haul a slide in camper?
Nope,
just because I wanted one.
(and it was the last thing I could get thrown in on the new truck deal once I rung out as much discount as I could:))
I did notice a bit of side to side on my last tow so interested to see if it improves...
know it will improve the around town handling - I won't have to borrow the wife's sports car :)
Biggest question is Why Not a Sway Bar? My 01 has one as part of the Camper Package, wouldn't mind if it was a bit bigger, no issues with sway, but isn't bigger always better??
The reason I asked is because my 98 Ram 4X4 has one and it is very stable side to side. My 11 Dually does not have one and it is stable side to side. I assumed they did something to the newer suspensions that made it to where they were not needed as much.
