Even with the instructions provided and the diy by RONE, it took me almost 3 hours to install thats including the half hour I spent looking for the 2 nuts for the upper endlink. I went as far as going to several hardware stores looking for 2 22mm nuts. When I got back, I started thinking...weld nuts, check the frame...what do ya know...nuts...I am nuts. I had a hard time attaching the U bolts and the thing that goes under the U bolt to the RSB. I smashed my finger, scrapped my knees, and cut up the top of my hand and my knuckles. I must say, however, the ride around corners and even changing lanes is day and night. I already love this thing. Everybody's reviews were dead on. Thanks yall I am curious...why did I have 4 washers left over??
Congtats on the RSB. I just love mine Too! Its been said on here that the RSB kit is the first mod to do and I did it first. I can't believe what a difference it made on my DC. I feel for your bumps and bruises.....I got my bar installed at my service dealer for $285 parts and labor...could not pass that deal up!
Let me know if it helps out on the causeway.. haha. I don't know if we will get anything to help us out there. Definitely my next mod to do to the truck. Louisiana highways. jeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I have only driven a few miles and whipped around a couple turns, but as I stated earlier, it is a day and nite difference. The rear end feels more stable and planted on the ground. There is a circle around here that I like to take at about 60mph...once I take that I will know for sure. Def worth the time and money. As everybody has said...should be the first mod!
Thanks to all of the good advice at TS my RSB was ordered with the truck as a factory-installed option.
My only disappointment is that I don't have the "before and after" experience to really feel how much it helps.
It could be taken off, the truck driven around, and then reinstalled but that is incredibly stupid.
Anyway, the truck handles beautifully and anyone who gets the RSB will appreciate the tightness in turns. The air bags seem to keep it more level as well.
A bit bumpy but corners great even for a stock wheels/tires. Also helps prevent a bit of axle wrap, I noticed. I have softer Alcan springs with Firestone Airbags and lately I noticed a lot of tirespin even with 200 lbs weight on the very back of the bed. After reinstalling the linkages on the sway bar, it hooked up better. I removed all the weights from the bed. The truck is peppy once again.
i just got mine installed in 49 minutes flat, laying in my driveway in the hot florida heat. thanks rone for the pictures. i brought my laptop outside and laid it under the tailgate. the pictures helped make it really easy. now its time to get a shower so i can test drive it without covering my seat in sweat, lol.
You can disconnect the two end links, tie up the bar to keep it from dragging and give it a good test drive. Just be sure to have a torque wrench to tighten the bolts back on
just remember, unless it says "speed limit", it is only a recommendation those yellow signs around curves and what not that are usually about 10 mph lower than the limit are not actual speed limit signs. you'd probably have to be squealing your tires around corners to get a ticket, and that could be fought in court by going into a technical discussion about the rubber compound of your tires and possible oil on the road just remember to let off the throttle if you do start squealing them. if you stay on it, good luck fighting it
Hi,
Just a couple of questions.
What is the Felt / Sound Supression in the upper firewall?
I camp a lot and some critter decided to go to town on this piece of felt.
What is it called (part # would be nice) and how can I replace it.
Dealer said it would be $400. Dealer didn't think it was...
Dirty White Boy
I had been looking for one locally since the first of the year, and all of them were asking over $12K. Well, I didn't want to spend that much before making the desired changes. Anyway, I had basically given up when one popped-up on Craigslist about 75 miles north of me. I was...
I have heard this noise for quite a while now and at first I attributed it to my aggressive tires just making road noise and it always did it, but now I'm really not sure after so long I forget. It's maybe very slightly vibrating, but it's mostly smooth and as I drive I get this pulsing sound...
