Default Re: Installed my Hellwig today :)

I'm a pretty tame driver, but sometimes I find myself entering a turn a bit faster than I should. The truck stays flat, and doesn't tip when I make a sudden steering correction, and I like that. Tipping (or "swaying" to use the correct term, I guess) only complicates an already-challenging situation. Who needs it? I still slide sideways in my seat from the g-force, but I feel like I'm more in control than when the truck tips in a hard turn. I haven't pushed it hard enough in a turn to break the rear wheels loose (well, except in the snow) but there is a lightness back there that wasn't apparent before the sway bar installation. It feels as though it could come around more easily. I'm being careful, and working my way up to it. I'll have to find an empty parking lot and make some progressively faster circles.
