Subject: DML: Quickor Swaybars - Update 02/08/02
> I've now had a chance to put the bars through the test and here's what
> I've found:
>
> (1) Big improvement with the front/rear bar combination for the average
> driver who would like a more aggressive handling capability of his/her
> truck (1" rear/1-1/4" front)
> (2) For the die-hard "curve huggers", I'm waiting for the updated front
> bar (1-5/16"). This improves the stiffness of the sway bar by 22% which
> will be enough to compensate for the slight push I'm seeing from the
> front end. Should be here by the end of next week but won't get a
> chance to install until after the 20th.
>
> The kits come with urethane sway bar bushings for both front and rear
> bars and include the upper bushings for the front end-links and have two
> options for the rear bar:
>
> (1) If the truck did not come with a rear sway bar - new end-links with
> urethane bushings (conventional style - no "dog-bone" like Dodge uses)
> (2) If the truck came with a rear sway bar - retain the rear "dog-bone"
> or replace with metal "dog-bone" and urethane bushings. (I'm waiting
> for the delivery of the replacement rear dog-bones - metal ones...will
> have an update on that as well right after they're installed.)
>
> Projected cost for the kit (front and rear bars w/bushings and/or
> end-links): $400 for the set.
>
> While just slapping on a upgraded set of swaybars will help out on
> handling, more aggressive shocks are recommended as well: KYB MonoMAX,
> Bilstein, Koni, or Tokiko (I prefer the MonoMAX shocks due to price and
> availability.)
>
> I'll keep you all posted on the progress with the updated (larger) front
> bar and rear end-links.
