Exclamation Removing the Sway Bars and Flipping the Coil Bucket for an Added 1"??

I'm looking to squeeze out 1" more on my PRG Performance Lift (Bilsteins/DR's/TC Arms w/custom spacer/Deaver's & rear Blocks)

Greg tells me to remove the sway bars and flip the coil buckets and this will give the extra 1".

Anyone done this? I'm thinking it would be easier to just use a larger spacer up front.

I will cede this question to Greg's vastly superior knowledge. That boy knows a thing or two about our suspensions. He's the "forgotten more than I'll know" guy for sure. Kartman might know someone though!

Im not sure what flipping the coilbucket is.

A larger spacer will cause the arm to hit the coilbucket and makes lots of noise and ride poorly.

I'm attempting this mod on Mon. & haven't been able to get in touch w/Greg but he claims 1" More by removing the bars, flipping the coilbucket and grinding where the a-arms rub.

We Shall See.

Isn't removing the sway bar going to effect handling................not for the better.

I defer to greg and I have followed his suggestions and I have a lift that handles awesome and I have no regrets he knows his Shi*!!!

Talk to greg about any mods you do to his 4" performance lift as he put the lift together and has the knowledge on the capabilities of the truck and his perfomance lift components and will not steer you in the wrong direction as his reputation and his livelihood depend on your success with his stuff!!!

If he sold crap and gave bad advice he wouldn't survive very long on these boards he'd probably be banned by broken Titan owners.

In Greg we Trust
LOL

Depends on your point of view. You get a bit more body roll but more entry and mid corner steering and articulation when paired with some stiffer springs. I much prefer it without the swaybar.
