    No. A sway bar does not have a counteracting affect on the opposite wheel. A sway bar ("anti-sway bar") will keep the sprung weight on the same level plane as the unsprung weight. Thus, whenever one side wheel raises up, the opposite side will have a downward pulling force to attempt to keep the body from rolling over. The way it's described here, whenever you turn, the truck will attempt to lean even further into the turn, listing the sprung weight to the outside of the turn. That ". . . downward force on the opposite wheel. . ." is exactly what you DO NOT want, and is the reason for the stiffness of the OEM bar. The OEM Anti-sway bar is made to safely operate at the extremes, i.e. heaviest diesel engine, with maximum payload, pulling the maximum trailer weight, with application of brakes, at maximum turn angle, at a DOT extrapolated algorithm for maximum speeds for turns. That's why it's "too stiff" for many people; they're not trying to perform an accident avoidance maneuver while pulling a 31,000lb gooseneck. Any alteration compromises the truck's ability to perform at it's extremes. That being said, heck yeah I agree that my RAM anti-sway bay is too stiff, too. Also, "death wobble" comes from improper caster and Akerman angle. Loose componentry and/or improperly dampened steering and/or bending caused by high stress on steering pieces exacerbates the issue, but it doesn't cause it.

A steering stabilizer DOES NOT compensate for a directional pull!!!! It is there to dampen the forces from impact to one tire or the other from transferring directly to the steering wheel (basically stops the steering from being jerked out of your hands in an extreme scenario)...

      No. It's not. When one side takes a bump, it forces the other side up too. For example, when turning left in your Ram, it will cause the right side to "dip" (compressing the suspension). The antisway bar will cause the left to dip too, cause the entire front end to "glue to the road", reducing overall body roll. There isn't an "opposite" effect on the opposite side. I like your videos, but you've been wrong on this one in two videos. Not trying to pick, just trying to help you on this one. I'm in Vegas too, BTW - I appreciate your straight shooting about 4 wheel parts. That place sucks.

    I wish I would have watched this before I 2.5” spacer leveled my ‘19 3500 ram. It’s primarily a work truck. A lot of towing and plow it in the winter. I want a solid kit, front and back. I was looking at carli but thought 2-3k, yeah I can afford it but I don’t need all that extra s tuff. But here, thinking about what your saying, I may just go ahead and remove this steel 2.5” front kit, and lean towards a kit that does front and back from carli or the like. Spent $80 on the kit and like $200 to install. But I’m not so sure this is ideal for my use cases. Can you weigh in Jay?

My tires still look brand new and my truck still drives like nothing was ever done to it. I did it for appearance reasons and so I can slide under it easier for maintenance purposes. I'm sure if I went off roading with it I would have a different story to tell.

  • @scottgilly1
    @scottgilly1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Man great post. But we must keep the truth out about this. Raising the front of your truck by spacer or coils has the exact same effect. Factory ride will NOT change using the spacers. The spring rate is the same no matter what. The very minor angle change in the control arms is no noticeable at all. Most kits come with shock extensions that match the spacer height. Your forward control arms being as long as they are. When you move the frame 2" up from the axle, the actual wheel base shortening is about 1/8". Hardly anything to look at or worry about. You are correct in the fact that the track bar which is non adjustable stock does move the axle over a minor amount. You do not just move the passenger wheel over on a solid axle truck. The track bar moves the entire frame over the axle and centers up the truck. This is causes the steering wheel to be offset a few degrees. This is corrected by adjusting the drag link about 1/2 - 3/4 turn of the adjusting link nut. Very easy to do. My leveling kit has giving no issues at all and tire wear is none. 65K from stock tires and 30K on new tires with no abnormal wear. A 2" leveling doe not in any way affect tire wear. Noting is done to the alignment of the wheels. As stated earlier the only alignment issue is the steering wheel offset.

    You really need to take this video down it’s misleading and incorrect information . You don’t know what your talking about people watching this beware do your homework and research suspensions , they can vary in all configurations types like ttb, solid axle , McPherson strut, and ifs front ends . Any kind of change will effect how the suspension travels depending on what kind of front axle you have .

I do a lot of highway driving and street commute only but the roads Massachusetts are treacherous for potholes I'm looking just to bring the front up to the rear (that's it )nothing crazy but I want to maintain the best factory ride tight steering no firm ridge ride .. can can you send me some links that would be helpful for components sway bar, shocks UCAs, tie rods etc that would help my ride any quality parts you know I want the best way I should level my truck money is not a issue I'll drop around 1500-2k but can't afford 2k a shock for kings lol thanks man .

  • @Mark_conor
    @Mark_conor 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    What leveling kit are you talking about bro, if you are talking about the one that just bolts on top of the strut assembly I can’t image the ride changing much. So I’m guessing you are talking about the compressed ones witch to me should stiffen the ride up front making it harder but I think the ones that bolts on top should be fine for a level look. So be more specific on what you are talking about.

    I don’t know bout you but my 06’ 3500 5.9l quad 4x4 came factory with 2 inch leveling spacers in the front! And to get rid of the wabble you need to upgrade to the t-track arm and the the y cause there is a ton of play in the pre 2009 y track bar setup along with the stabilizer so little bit more to it! The best you can afford is a great answer!

Note, truck came with tradesman245/65 r17 and I put on laremi stock 285/60 R20 from Craigslist from a same truck had upgrade.

Comes with 3in spacers for the front. 1in for the rear coils. But this kit comes with s drop pitman arm and track bar relocation bracket. Problems solved hopefully will more than likely post a video
