if you want absolutely the best handling, pick up al dustans suspension.... no sway whatsoever.....

I installed the Suspension Techniques rear anti-sway bay on my Syclone last week. The difference in handling is night and day. Body roll is GREATLY diminished. I had earlier installed polyurathane bushings on the front anti-sway bar which helped a little bit, but not nearly as much as adding the ST rear bar. It was a fairly simple install, too.

When the F.A.S.T. crew went to homestead raceway to do a little road racing, everyone was commenting how my truck was leaning like a mofo, no sway bar. Out of the bars I've seen, I really like the ST bar. Monomax work great, better then the gas-adjust. Of course al's kit is the ultimate, but its got it's price ;P

ST Anti-Sway bar, best bang for the buck.

i cant stress this enough!

DO NOT buy the addco sway bar! :evil:

i have to take it upon myself to bash that company, on the sole fact that their directions are by far the worst ive even encountered, of any auto product or anything else for that matter. the directions are so vague, there are no drawings, or part numbers etc. not to mention the shitty pics of the sway bar installed, that are photocopied in black and white, and very hard to see any detail what so ever.

maybe ill have better things to say about it once i figure out how to install it. till then...

Hey Neal, you're correct the instructions for the Addco SUCK!!!, but don't be affraid, once you get under the truck it's all pretty straight forward, I threw away the instructions then got under the truck.

BigAl...

drop me an email (ColdWindOfDeath@aol.com)if you can offer any install tips... the directions said something about there being holes in the frame rails that im supposed to drill out and make larger... well as the black guy in space balls said "WE AINT FOUND SHIT!" i dont see any holes in my frame rails!

unless im looking in the wrong spot? ive never seen a swaybar installed, so i dont even have the slightest clue as to how this goes on... but what i got from the directions... the dip in the bar goes under the driveshaft, and bolts to the axle, and the "arms" point forward towards the front of the truck? if i got it all wrong... please! someone shoot me in the right direction!

i just cant believe how unprofessional those instructions are! stick figure drawings wouldve been more effective!

Why would you NOT need the sway bar with the flex-a-forms?

The flex-a-forms are taking out body roll???

Summitracing.com is were i got my mine from, $114.69 to my front door, same part# as listed before, stq-86635

 

[ty1on]

that's what george the owner at flex-a-form recommends, i happy without it, smoother ride, with improved roll control over stock springs, it also lowers the ty 2" which also helps with center of gravity & flux capacitor & all other that voodoo stuff! lol
