i staticd my truck and i drive it like its a rx, but it leans real hard so i wonderd about a sway bar for the rear. and when i bake one down i get this horrible wheel hop.. so the ladder bars i think would be a good way to go with that set up anyone know where i can get that or what off of?

Take out the blocks in the rear to stop the wheel hop.

try tightening your ubolts in the rear sometimes they will flex some.

ps your not sposed to race trucks

U can get short traction bars at any good speed shop.They bolt tp ur spring perch and have an adjustable snubber on the front so u can adjust spring travel.Bell tech makes a very sturdy 22mm rear sway bar that I use that also functions as a traction bar.Bolts to the frame and rear axle.Unless u have lots of hp or do some serious drag racing ladder bars are not indicated,plus they are ugly as hell.BJ

ladder bars won't handle super great on the street either. your idea of a rear sway bar isn't bad. it'll help you out a bit, and definately lose the blocks. when you stomp the gas your axle naturally wants to rock backward, and the blocks magnify that effect. called axle wrap. it hops because its wrapping back and forth. its all bad, and doesn't look cool either ha ha.

Well put. I went through 2 rear ends to learn that.
