My thoughts as well. Trucks are pretty tail happy to begin with. This could be real interesting without a huge step up in front springs.

Unless its a tubular, thin wall unit with a peanut sized rate...

What size rear sway bar would you run? It's all being custom built so I can pretty much build anything and everything the way I want. Thinking about it now 1 3/4 might be a little big, might do 3/4" since I have that here at the shop

I put a 3/4" bar on the back of my much heavier and much heavier sprung D250 CTD and it made a notable difference.

If you have the 3/4" stock it shouldn't hurt too much to try that size.

I'd agree that 3/4" would be a good starting point.

Alright this weekend I'm off and plan to get all the welding done, and to build and install the front and rear sway bars.


1979 "boostedwarlock", 1931 Dodge, 1974 w100, 1974 w200, 1979 w200, 1981 Ramcharger, 1984 Ramcharger, 1985 w150. I have tons and tons of other Mopars but I don't have the time to list.

I have a aluminum radiator suport that I made for my warlock it took a bunch of weight off the front. I also started to put wilwood dynolight calipers on the stock rotors. I need to finish up the brakes but I cant get my self to work on it after sitting out side all day at work.

Do you have any pictures of the support? I've been thinking about building on but I've never welded aluminum. I might have to get some wire and try. And pictures of the wilwood set up?
