Anybody put crossover on there truck that had the front sway bar .Did u miss the sway bar after u got it done.Thinking about doing it but never had a first gen without the sway bar.Any noticeable body roll or anything

 

I installed crossover steering in my 93. No swaybar, however this is the only 1st gen i've driven so I have nothing to directly compare to. I used to commute on roads that took me direct through state forest,...meaning I drove the truck alot on old wagon trail roads. The truck handles great for a leaf spring truck however I'm airbagged in front which helps with body roll. I'm also mildly lifted perhaps 2-3" and I run the equivalent of 31's.

Noteworthy is the fact I had Alcan make new front leafs at the same time when crossover steering went in + I put in springless top balljoints from partsmike.com in the truck. This alone firmed things up in the front. I do enjoy not having bump steer up here on heaving roads in WI during the transition months in late spring.

 

I will be installing crossover and ditching the front sway bar on my '92/'93 club cab project.
I have not driven a truck before and after removing the front sway bar as a test, but I have several 1st gens without sway bars and they seem stable and fun to drive.

 

A quick and easy test would be to remove the links, tie up the sway bar so it is out of the way and go for a ride.

 

Yea kinda disabled now but I think I’ll go for it when the I get the chance

 

What’s a springless ball joint .Are you talking about a heim joint

 

I would bet he mean springless KINGPINS not ball joints....

 

Yea probably when I was talking to Mike I believe he said something about taking the spring out of the top king pin.Very nice guy called me back and talked about the crossover steering .Also the guys at Far from stock were very helpful nice to actually talk to the guys that build the stuff

 

You might miss the sway bar if you have soft(er) springs more suspension travel.

 

My mistake guys, thanks for catching. Yes, I indeed meant springless kingpins,... not balljoints.
I checked my maintenace book and that was 33K miles ago.
