One for the hackers out there

Well I have outdone myself now. I built a new front suspension for my ram which has no shocks or sway bar. Im sure many will say I'm crazy but it handles way better then I ever expected and much smoother. Don't forget Im on air so I can do it. With no sway bar other then absolutely burning a corner to fast there is no noticeable side effet in daily driving on the freeway or side roads only that mu truck absorbs small chatter bumps better and rides smoother. Its actully barely bouncy at all either although I plan on putting some shocks on it after the show at Kayuga this weekend.

I took both my sway bars off over a year ago, on my 4x4.

Hardly any body roll unless I take a corner way too fast.
I do mean waaaaayyyy to fast.

Seems to ride smoother,
well, as smooth as a kidney beating skyjacker lift can get.

I'll pass on removing the shocks though

I have to get the shocks back in but with air ride its acutally not that bouncy maybe 2 bounces after a big bump most small ones it doesn't move. So much smoother its incredible.
