Question for you 4x4's or lifted 2wd's (Bernd)--does a beefier
front and /or rear sway bar impede off-roadability and
articulation? I assume it would to some degree, but maybe not
enough for mild wheel'n to be a concern. Just wanted to hear
from someone with the experience.
Also, has anyone seen/installed this:
http://www.activesuspension.com
I ran across the site before and forgot about it, but just saw
they had an ad on TNN during "Trucks!" and thought I'd bring it
up to the list. Looks like a product that makes good sense, but
sometimes you never know. Anyone got any feedback on this?
