Front sway bar removal and extended rear sway bar links.
Just thought I would post a follow up to these 2 mods in case anybody is interested. Wow!!! What a difference it has made on the way my truck drives and feels. After I raised it and removed the Xreas I felt the handling was awesome but the ride quality suffered as it was a bit harsh. After talking to some people on here and reading many posts I decided to do both of these and man it now drives like a dream. Removing the front sway bar has made it become truly independent and feels like it floats over anything you drive it over and extending the rear has got rid of the jolting feeling once the rears hit what ever the fronts went over. With the FJ coils and Bilstien shocks, handling is still very controlled and responsive even at highway speeds without feeling sloppy or unstable.
