Panhard bars, Track bars, and Watts links for these trucks?


Recommended Posts

My 2015 Reg cab/6.5' bed bounces alot more than my 2008 reg cab/8' bed. I attribute the bounce to the shorter wheelbase and the stiff suspension. But I also notice a shimmy in the rear when hitting a bump while slightly turning.

 

I don't think a sway bar would do much for me in this case since the truck corners well but is there a way to cut that rear end left-right wiggle?

All those parts mentioned are for a coil spring/multi-link suspension. They locate the axle and allow it to move without shifting. Your truck has leaf springs bolted directly to the axle . Best you get will be a swaybar or spend a couple thousand on a 4 link swap

And i would think a sway bar would make things worse in your situation. It will make things a bit stiffer and you will probably notice more issues.

The S-10 ZR2 trucks have a panhard bar on the rear. Apparently, GM found reason to use it on those trucks but I've never seen one on any other leaf spring truck.

The rear end of these trucks are really lively over bumps, worse with the upgraded ranchos, worse with an empty box, and brutal on bumps while turning.

 

Is it because of the leafs or the shock? What are some alternatives to dampen this action that would break the bank
