IRS gurus help me out!

Does anybody make a bushing kit or anything to take some of the factory slop out of the IRS in my '11 expy. It's a 2 wheel drive model if that helps. I am very familiar with bushing kits and braces and upgraded half shafts for drag racing mustangs so I'm almost embarrassed that I can't figure out how to go about this just looking for some stability and comfort. Lol

An 11 and its sloppy??????? Wow. It should still be like new. Does it have a lot of miles.

I bought it with 9 miles on the clock and it now has 2500. I wouldn't say it's 100,000 mile sloppy but I can definately feel where the factory fell short. Maybe more so because of the pure size, weight, and center of gravity. We have some horribly twisty roads in the napa valley that I sometimes drive threw on the way to work and even at normal driving speeds you can feel the rear of the truck stumbling over itself. It just seems like an incredably week IRS setup for such a big vehicle. I have always preferred a live axle

If you look at the rear sway bar, it is very minimal...

May want to consider changing it to a larger after market size. That has helped a bunch of others here on the board...

I have over 100k and no issues, I would take it back to the dealer.
I don't know of anyone with these issues...

Ill be honest with you, my sister just bought a 2010 2wd EB with 44k on her
Compared to my Truck it handles like an italian sports car.
Compared to my dad's 03 it rides like a cadillac

So a 2011 with 2500 may be sloppy but i just dont see it.

Sway bar, after market shocks/struts may help you out but... yeah
