pnblwzd Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Hi all I am going to be installing Hotchkis sway bars, and am wondering if I should/need to change the shocks at the same time. My truck has 23k miles at stock height so the OEMs are probably not worn out, but I've been pleased with installing Bilsteins on other cars in the past that didn't really need it (but showed an improvement). Any ideas? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Not much to take advantage of from the install for shocks. You don't have to remove the shocks to get the sway bars in. So in less you really want to, I don't think you "should", really. You will see an improvement if you did though. The stock shocks are nothing special. Steering/handling-wise, both at the same time will max you out on handling improvement. I liked them both at the same time on my last truck.

pnblwzd Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I know they don't have to come off for the sway bar work, I just thought since the truck is already on the rack, tools out, etc. Plus since the stockers are kind of bouncy maybe do it all at once, unless it's not a worthwhile $250 upgrade...

r8rs4lf Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I would do one thing at a time so you can see what kind of difference each thing makes, but that is just me. Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
