After I lifted my Rodeo, I had lots of complains about its handling performance. When I removed my sway bars, I got even more problems. I spent some time looking at my suspension geometry and calculating stuff. Eventually, I came to conclusion that my stock track bar is too short for lifted suspension. Too short track bar forces my rear axle to sway unpleasantly. I contacted Matt in Independent4x, and he suggested to make a longer heavy-duty track bar for me. Last Thursday I installed the new track bar (about 1/2" longer than stock) and this weekend I was testing the new suspension setup. I must say that the difference in handling is huge. The body roll is significantly reduced, to a normal stock level. I can drive high-speed on mountain roads again !
Remember that I have no sway bars on both ends.

I made a rather difficult Pardoe trail in Saturday, and I did not notice any articulation problem with the new track bar. The difference on trail is not noticable, but longer track bar makes really big difference on twisty roads. If you need to drive long way to the trails, and if you have a lift, then a longer track bar is a good mod.
