new shocks;front sway bars?!

ok, just installed 4 new Monroe Road Warrior shocks! Wow! what a difference! My truck actually only leans like a lake fishing boat and not the love boat! hehe!
now, does anybody know of a front anti-sway bar for the d-250's that will help eliminate that crapping handling we have? if not, this truck is for sale and i'm buying a 2nd or 3rd gen! yeah, right!
really, i would love to get some kind of handling out of it w/o sliding from one bucket seat to the other! even with the new shocks it sucks! please help!!!!!

I have two front sway bars on mine (one on top of the other). One came on the truck the other I took off a similar truck. I would think if you dont have one now find a 3/4 or 1 ton (73-93) in a bone yard and put it on yours. Just make spacers to space the sway bars appart and you're done. If you would like I will take some Pic's and post'em

Its a parking lot racing trick.
When you put enough weight on it any thing will give.

I think I'm going junkyard scavenging. That's a neat low-buck tip. It should make the truck a lot more neutral handling.

hey wannadiesel-
i am so jealous of your truck! I won't like...i totally love the color combination! Mine is red and grey, and its only a D250. I think that color combo is killer! i just might "borrow" that maroon color from you when my truck hits the paint shop next month! hehehehehehe!

Thanks! It really is a 50 foot truck, though - get any closer and it doesn't look so good.
