Does anyone know how handelling would be effected if I were to install one shock on the left rear and one in each of the brackets on the right side? One behind the axle and one in front. Would it effect body roll on cross winds? Would it tend to want to turn by itself on washboard roads? If you had to correct your steering quickly from one side to the other, would it handle unpredictably? I bought an anti sway bar but wondered if handling would improve or not with this idea. There must be a reason why no one does this. Does anyone know?

 

yep, there is a reason no one does this, unless you are going to chrome them, steal the wheels off Bubbas tractor and put em on that thar' giddyup your a'drivin
But seriously folks, you want the rate of the spring to match the rebound potential of the shock. yes shocks will work to defeat the body roll, but this is not the way to attack it. the sway bars are a better way, but they will restrict the articulation of the suspension. HOw high is your truck lifted? and what shock spring combo are you using?

 

My SCrew is completely stock in height for a 4x4. I added the anti sway bar to the rear and saw the extra shock bracket, and wondered if it could or should be used.
