Alright stinking sway bar is in, let's see if this helps. Install was pretty easy and straight forward. Just realized a disconnect on the rear will be tricky since the bar needs to basically be in...

Yea I think it should be fine as intended, I've seen that the Hellwig hangs pretty low with a stock van so with a 6" lift it should pull it up out of the way decently. It's all a test for now...

Well I ordered a Hellwig rear sway bar (model 7183) to give that a try and see if it even helps. It's only a 1 1/4", I couldn't find the 1 1/2" version in a full kit. If it helps I'll have to have...

Hard to tell if it was just that since I changed so much at once. I can't believe how well it handles now and that's with no stabilizer, it's amazing. My Caster probably played a big role and was...
