i have come to the point after replacing both my springs and shocks that my handling still isnt what i would like, i know its not a sports car like my other cars but i need to get rid of some body roll so who makes thicker sway bars for the 2005 4wd expeditions besides hellwig and eibach. wish i could get some from hotchkis or pedders since i run those brands on my GTO and G8 and they definitely help my cars pull a hair over 1G on the skidpad

thanks in advance:)

they may be the only ones that make them for our trucks...i have eibach and bought last of the circulating set (front/back)...now they only sell the front or the rear...but not both and i posted the email from eibach last year stating that so i know...i went through 3 companies trying to get them and they all said they had them...they were doing drop shipments...take my order then order from eibach...when i found that out i made sure to find out if they actually had them on hand and not doing drop shipments...when i was talking like i knew how they did business they didnt BS me

good luck

i might have to take my lazy ass out under the truck with my dial calipers to see for sure, just figured some of you gear heads might have had a sticky somewhere on this issue or something the sort. regardless im sure no matter which set i go with the improvement will be quite nice

for future reference according to my dial calipers the front bar is 1.325 inches which works out to 33mm and rear bar is .590 inches which works out to 15mm........i assume this would hold the same for 2wd versions as well
