New mod's

Just installed the rear Hellwig sway bar on my truck and man is she tight now!


passenger side


driver side

and my Pace Setter Long tube headers that will be going on next week




Also the wifes Roush chin spoiler, hood scoop, windshield banner and Stage 1 badging came in. All I need now is to find a painted bumper for her truck and it will be good to go.

Thats a very simple bolt on swaybar, kinda cheap way to get the effect but whatever works, not to mention the thin gauging. You seem to have lost some clearance but with a swaybar I doubt you were into wheeling. I'm very interested in the long tube headers, the shorty's proved minimal gains for many others so I hope these are worth the install for you. Make sure you take pics of the install process, I hear you have to lift the engine block to get the pass side in.

KiCk *** FX4 and Josiah - Yes I will be installing the headers myself should be starting it next monday and I am going to take pictures through the whole process.

nuclearthreat54 and Josiah - The rear sway bar sits that low because I have a 2wd truck with a Ground force 2/4 drop. The plates that bolt to the housing are 1/4" steel and the sway bar is a 1" diameter that weights in at around 35lbs. It is very ridged once it was fully installed but I may go back and weld the housing brackets on.

The truck handed pretty good before with the 2/4 drop, but now it is like driving a sports car on some of the s-curves out here. I have been tayloring this truck for more of a road coarse suspension(personel preference).

Thanks for the comments guys!

Does the Roush window banner install on the outside of the windshield?

Josiah, just so you know LT headers are illegal in California. Not smog legal that is...

at least not the last time I checked.
