I put 65K miles on a b/d 93 toyota showing the truck in 9 different states (can anybody else say that ?) without the use of a trailer and no sway bars , just ride low to keep that center of gravity on teh down low

it's the rear end, either your bushing are bad in the bar's or who ever put it in didn't take there time puting it in, so when u pick up speed the rear likes to start to sway back and forth and will keep going till u slow way down, trust me i had the same problem look into it

those pixs are old, put new upper control arms and replaced the 5.0 rack with a mustang 2. remember the front was toeing like crazy when laid out, the smallier rack fix that problem. NO MORE TOE.

i drive my truck long distances...it gets driven no less than 40miles a day, and i drive from atlanta to albany, ga (bout 3hr drive), and u gotta go through columbus which is hell haha

just make sure you have 4 valves up front, and if u have a 4link, do 4 vavles out back too...and shocks
