My lifted 78 K5 Blazer suspension (+37" tires) does not perform very well on roads with lots of bumps and roots when I'm going 75+ MPH.

Bounces around a lot and leans left and right a lot.

I have a front sway bar.

Perhaps adding a rear sway bar would help?


I'm inquiring about a SWAY bar - Just to clarify........


So... shocks ? Sway bar? Or?

Yo- SS - That should be sufficient to prove my point, wouldn't you say?

This is his thread. Name changed overnight
Yep, no more blazing blazer in the avatar. Now a new user name and what appears to be a transfer case as the avatar.

Sorry, no recommendations on SWAY bars, but I could probably suggest a few of the other type of bars. I do live in Washington, after all. :oops: The Everblue State.

I know you are asking stupid crap just to get everyone shaking there heads. For one if you are hitting tree roots at 75mph that are big enough to feel them, your going to have bigger problems than needing a rear sway bar. Bent frame comes to mind. Broken leaf springs. That type stupid crap.

FYI... I have ran just a front sway bar on all of my 4x4s 35s, 37s, and 39.5 never had a problem with body roll. Just as long as you shim them for what ever lift you have used. Sounds like to me you have El cheapo shocks, or old shocks that are not doing the job.

Im just going to say this now... You keep asking the stupid a$$ crap you have asked in the past, or post just stupid responses to people that are asking questions they need a real answer to... your going to be gone. If you want to stay and add some real help, or just laugh and joke by all means stick around and enjoy...

It will help, but sounds like you are driving just too d--m fast to me. A rear sway bar will also reduce understeer.
