Then, I self installed the Sumo SSF-106-47 springs and the Roadmaster RM-1139-176 front sway bar, followed up by a front end alignment.

Driving to the alignment appointment I did notice improvements in handling in that steering corrections had been greatly reduced and passing semi’s had less effect on control.

After the alignment I noticed even further improvement overall.

I now need to make a decision as to installing the rear sway bar and Sumo Springs or not. The question in my mind is, is the extra $900+ expenditure going to make a significant improvement over what I have now?

I’d be interested to hear comments from those that have added the rear suspension mods and from those that have chosen not to.


Did you try the CHF before you replaced the sway bar? Why not at least try it on the rear before spending $900? I agree that a steering stabilizer does little to change the driving dynamics of the vehicle - but we seem to be in the minority in this opinion. Lol.
