Russell, you have it backwards, a stiffer spring will not allow the outside (loaded tire) to move as much through its travel and will therefore allow LESS load transfer to that wheel, this is exactly what a sway bar does. It will make the vehicle more likely to spin-out than roll. And yes, 2.5" lift will automatically cause you to roll your vehicle, any vehicle for that matter,i saw it on some consumer safety show.

Greg you have been more than helpful to me in the past by answering questions so I do not mean any disrespect but what do you mean you'll automatically roll your vehicle with a 2.5" lift? Like i said before i have had the 3" coils on for 6 months with no problems....are you talking about a sudden swerve of the wheel at high speeds? If that's the case most trucks on the street right now have that warning sticker under the visor saying the same thing. Again no disrespect just trying to figure out if i should get rid of these 3" coils and go back to a spacer system or something?

I guess I owe neworleansmike an apologe. Im sorry. I have horrible writting skills and my punctuation is horrible. I will add smilly faces.

Wouldnt a stiffer spring make the ride stiffer ? Now you raise the center of gravity by 2.5 inches in front give it less ability to compress I believe you would have a perfect recipe for a roll over? Bmw had this problem when they came out with thier SUV's. Wanted a sporter feel to the SUV and gave it stiffer springs until they couldnt pass the DOT inspections. Im no car expert just a simple 1+1=2 kinda guy but when I lowered my old car and put stiffer springs on I notice a huge difference in the feel. Really glad I lowered it instead of keeping it at stock hieght.

Again Im sorry.

PreRunner, thank you for setting me straight after this post I did alot of reading on how things works and now know what a sway bar does. What I had pictured in my mind was if someone was standing in one spot and came up and pushed you from the side while you had a locked knee. I didnt want to imply that 2.5 inches equals instant roll over or alot of you customers would be pretty upset. Infact as soon as the Honeymoon is over I plan on getting your kit. I love the way it looks. Again sorry everyone.

Russ....no apology needed I just got aggrivated by what Drags wrote about having my mind made up to do it and I've been warned etc..etc...I'm sure he missed the point that I was selling the coils not looking for approval to install them.
