| Sway bars
Anyone try the Vaterra sway bar kits? They are only like $12 from RPP. I was thinking about trying the rear. We all know about the nasty front tire lift in the turns on the throttle. I've already tuned out some of it with shock preload but I don't find most of the rear flex to be necessary. |

I have the medium rear sway bar but not the front. Articulation is still good enough for going through a rock garden but doesn't traction roll as easily.

I was running the med one in the rear only when I still had the spare tire on it and it made a big difference. Now that I cut the cage down and lost the spare tire I am running the soft one works great for me. I would recommend getting the kit then just trying different settings, springs ,sway bar and shock oil tell it handles how you like for how you drive everyone is different. I think its a big help much more controllable.

Yup, running them front and rear. Light front and medium rear. Trimmed the rear just enough to clear the battery tray well. Racing mine against Rubbaneck and SCT's. So much fun. |

| Re: Sway bars same as pockets for me - noticable difference. Running rear locker and 500K oil in front diff. altogether happy with this approach so far.
