Help - Too Much Roll

I'm a Blackwood owner and realize that the Lightning is cream of the crop when it comes to performance trucks. I have way too much front end body roll and was wondering if a front sway bar from a Lightning would fit on my truck. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

You'd be better off getting an aftermarket one from Hotchkiss or some other similar manufacturer that's made for the Blackwood. If you can't find one, then the Lightning bar might be a decent alternative.

You're right we do have both & discussed this with him in the Wood section. We plan to try the L sway bar on the Wood but haven't had the chance to test the fit.

Try replacing OE tires with some Yokohamas. I went with Geolander Yokos on my Expedition. The sidewall is a lot stiffer and makes a difference when cornering and overall feel of the road.

Go with a STEEDA front and rear sway bar, it helped my stock truck performance Huge. I can now handle as well as or better than a stock L.
