SuperStock Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Energy suspension makes a sway bar bushing kit. These bushing are stiffer so it will improve handeling. http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=3%2E5214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSplaytoy Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 You could also lower the rear with shackles and then add bags if you tow. It's a small drop, but lowering the COG improves handling. It wont be stock as you want, but will help with the results you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevet8754 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 the sway bar bushing kit is just a harder rubber?. ( im a noob when it comes to such things like this lol) im guessing they replace the factory ones. ill have to look into how the rubber softness or stiffness effects the handeling. the stock sway bars are solid? or hollow? would it be worth while to replace the rear the same time as the front?. i agree with the lowering of the truck to improve the handeling but ied rather not touch the ride height. i like it stock. its not as high as stock silverado but not slamed to the ground.

smoothdime Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) as far as i know the sss never came with a factory rear sway bar. the djm front/rear sway bar kit seems to have good reviews. i think the price is fair on them as well. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/68267-djm-massive-swaybars/page__p__761149__hl__%2Bdjm+%2Bsway+%2Bbars__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=761149 Edited June 28, 2011 by smoothdime (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
