I have one extra set of Hotchkis sway bars in stock. They are like flipping a light switch on your suspension. The stock sway bars were designed with driver ignorance and Ford's liabiliy in mind. So that at the edge of handling the truck will understeer and crash facing forward. I could do perfect 100mph plus 4 wheel drifts with these bars the truck is almost dead neutral:bows .

The bars arrived before the invoicing I have yet to check my cost. I think they are about $450 plus shipping and installation which is negotiable. I normally eat shipping but on Hotchkis stuff is is pretty steep. Each TVS kit is $130 truck frieght:eek: .

So you are saying $580 for 2 swaybars ? Plus install ? or is the TVS kit something else...

The TVS kit is the heavy leaf springs, front springs AND sway bars. The sway bars are $450 on most internet sites so I think 500 installed is about right.
They are $557 plus S&H and install from Hotchkis, they are not a cheap item.

Well I'm bummed for you, but I know you have other toys to play with so I'll take `em.

Terry, I know you're schedule is pretty busy. I have Monday July the 25th off. Do you think you can squeeze it in that day?
