Well, given that they handle like a bag of s**t stock standard and the first thing ppl do is look to replace the springs with something more "useful". They would be OK if you only have stock springs.

I actually took both my front and rear anti-sway bar (stock in the longbodies) off when I put in the spring lift, as it really isn't needed. Vehicle now handles far better than new, very "chuckable" in corners with no wallowing, even with the lifts and tires. Still able to tow 4400lb trailer and get excellent rear articulation, a good balance front and rear. They really shouldn't be necessary in a shortbody as the longbody is about 200-300lb heavier aft of the rear wheels (leverage action increases the "sway" moment forces).


Biggest problem with the stock suspension is that the springs are too soft (leading to poor handling around corners), so they tried to fix it by putting stiff anti-sway bars in it. All this does is cause the front end (and to a degree the rear end ) to behave like a bucking bronco and understeer with any surface irregularities in the road (familiar sensation????). To a degree the dampers could be a bit stronger to control the spring oscillations.
