It doesn't matter what vehicle its on its a bro truck thing. I was trying to phrase it nicely. Back in the day it was done in attempt to make up for **** shocks on vehicles that were 4 wheel leaf sprung. They were only used in the front and offered no improvements in ride. If you want less body roll either run stiff as **** coils and leafs, run a heavy set of sway bars or don't expect a top heavy SUV to handle like a sport car.

you asked so i showed you.


i dont mind body roll. for the 10th time i'm tired of this truck jarring me around while i am creeping along. i stated earlier i mixed up body roll with what i was trying to convey . "truck rides like a rock shaker off road".

as i and others mentioned i have stiff crappy springs, cheap crappy shocks. need to change them to ones more suited for the task at hand.

now i like a nice cushy ride with a cradle like rocking motion. or a easy polite swaying motion, what ever envisions the ride of cotton ***** and unicorns thru rocks and mud.

btw way i dropped the dual shock thing posts ago as it would make the ride of the truck even more stiff.
