If the sway bar is still available I would like to buy it at the asking price.

Thanks

Can someone tell me how to change my user name. I accidently put a l in my name.

Click the link in his post and you can bid on it on Ebay

The "l" was removed Frank. BTW, welcome to TTZ.... about time you started posting, lol! And, you might consider posting over in the New Members forum (along with some pics of your truck) so everyone has a chance to more formally welcome you.

Roger that rarjar! and thanks for removing the l. I wouldn't even begin to know how one would pronounce my name with a l in it. I'll take some pics and post in the the New Members forum.

When I first looked at your user name after you said you had accidently put an "l" in your user name (originally I misread that "l" as an "i"), and I was thinking then, how would one pronounce "franlk," lol!

Happy for you guys,and congrats on new mod,I'm thinking about buying one,does anybody know if the sway bar changes truck's off-road capabilities?

Personally makdenn, with my limited experience with sway bars, I don't think one is best suited for off-roading. I know I would not want one on my truck at my ranch in Central Texas... the terrain there is too severe and I think the sway bar would be an impediment to driving around there. That said, others may have some different thoughts.

It will limit articulation. belows a quick blurb to help you out
"Second part you missed about Live axle vs Independant, is wheel
articulation. Live Axle vehicles with coil spring suspensions get
*MUCH* better wheel articulation than Independant vehicles. Of course,
almost all 4x4's come with anti-sway bars to limit articulation for
on-road driving, but most avid "Off-roaders" remove these to get the
max articulation out of their vehicle. (Articulation is Wheel travel,
BTW, the distance the wheels can go up and down. the better the
articulation, the more those wheels can travel, and the more the
wheels can travel, the better, since you can keep all four wheels
firmly planted on Terra Firma, thus maximizing traction and stability
(and reduce wear and tear on suspension components and the frame)."

Thanks guys for quick reply,and especially McColl,things with sway bar are clear to me now,obviously,you can't seat on both chairs,have to sacrifice something.

No sacrifice necessary. When I go off road I remove 2 bolts, tie up the links and go.
