When lifting these trucks, there often are a few details that get left unaddressed. One in particular is the geometry of the stabilizer bar pivot point in relation to the axle... before lift and after.

With death wobble always in the back of our minds, it's most important that we cross every "T" so there aren't any questions if it does occur.

Putting the stabilizer bar where it belongs is most important. The nature of the design of this suspension system is based on parts swinging arcs as the suspension travels. All of these motions create unwanted forward and backward oscillations that we need to keep to a minimum. By matching the "level" of the pivot point of the bar back to it's original stock geometry we can eliminate the one sided travel created by the lift kit.
Mine's been in for a couple weeks. I definately feel the difference. Front end seems to handle bumps even better with a more controlled recovery. Basically it feels more responsive and tighter over terrain.

I just had my Pace system installed last week with the drop blocks, all I can say is WOW http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif ....this system really rocks, not to hijack the post but its quite a big difference from stock. I used to have major body roll while going in to a turn, now at the same turn that I would limit myself to 35mph, I am comfortably and safely taking it at 40mph +, feels like its on rails compared to stock . KORE's claims are realistic, really a great product and the best mod I have done to my truck by far.

I have the same experience. And I thought the truck did quite well before.

Same here. The truck did well before I installed my race kit. After receiving the kit, I thought to myself -- How can these larger springs and huge shocks make anything smoother? Well, they do. The truck stays FIRMLY planted.

Cornering is smooth and has no roll.
Bumps are dampened more than I could have imagined.
I come out of dips on the interstate with no additional bounces, smooth and planted to the road.
I have high speed control on gravel that I didn't think was possible.
When stopping hard on bumpy gravel, I no longer slide around, the truck stays in a straight line and doesn't skid nearly as easily.
When hitting the "wake up" grooves on the side of the interstate, I can still hear them, but cannot feel them at all.
Curbs are 40mph are easily handled as advertised. :D

btw Hoot,

How in the world is the bottom of your truck THAT clean?!?!?

Pressure washer and I rinse it once in a while when I wash the truck. When it was new I sprayed all rusted areas with a rust convertor and then sprayed the axles and brown spots with black bed spray paint.
