What does stock suspension have to do with anything? They lift the rear of the truck without having to replace a lift block with an even taller one causing even more axle wrap and keep you from having to tear apart a leaf pack to install an add a leaf.
I cranked the torsion bars on my 99 and ended up with a slight lean. Shackles fixed that and only took 30 minutes in my parents garage.

Love all the hate on here...... As far as no sway bar, ran without front or rear sway bars for two years now. 3" body lift, torsion bars cranked, add a leaf and 33s never a single problem. But some are prob the same people that saying putting a locker and mini spool in a daily isn't smart. Baaaahahhaha!! Done and done!

It's not bad without a sway bar. Not sure if you've driven without one.

Mine is lifted on 35's with no sway bar and I smash the fuck out of corners. It's not nearly as bad as you think.

Thing is, you are an idiot. So pretty much anything you say, it's like 'could it be true? No that fucker Tyler said it, so it must not be true'...

I ran without a sway bar on my 99 for two years. I also rolled that truck but thats irrelevant to the sway bar being removed.

Preach it!

I can't believe he actually still tries to give "advice". What's sad, is that he's allowed to

That is my issue with the dumb little douche. I could not care less if he wastes his Dad's money tearing up his shit. It's when he gives bad advice to people honestly looking to be helped.

To answer Tyler, yeah I have driven without the sway bar. I currently don't have a front one. To answer big fisher, I was just wondering. My truck has maxed bars and it still had rake. No need for shackles. Every truck is different I guess

To contribute to the thread. Parker good job on trying to replace broken parts and do good preventative maintenance.

I read the comments then went back to look at the picture and put out an audible "Holy Shit!" when I saw how you lifted it. What the fuck is wrong with you dude?
