Did you relocate your swaybar? It is important for handling that you do. I did on mine.

definately. just look under the back of the truck at the swaybar. it should be level to the ground, or slightly tilted forward. i'll bet yours is angled down a little.

I have a 2" drop on mine and I needed to compensate the rear sway bar. I picked up some end links for about $70 and installed in about 30 min. Worked well.

I measured up an inch and a half from the stock hole for the swaybar end link, drilled a new hole, (there is stuff behind the drivers frame rail so be careful) and moved the stock links up. It was free.

Just level the anti-sway bar, then use the bolt end to scribe an arc on the frame goo (AKA Ford undercoating). Then use a punch to make a starter hole and drill.

Do you have a link so I can see what kind of end links to get? I'm not comfortable with drilling into the frame.

Yeah that is pretty much what I did. I just wanted to "fluff" it up a little by saying I actually measured
