I have a 2000 ram 1500 Off Road Ed. when I go around corners in this truck it feels like the truck is going to turn over. I have replaced the front sway bar bushings and it did not help. I checked my shocks and they are shot, so I am going to order new ones this week. Should I go ahead and put a rear sway bar on and shocks?

Im thinking either the 5100's or the M95's (any suggestions)
Is there a thread about the rear sway bar? searched but came up with nothing.

Thanks

If you can justify the scratch, the 5100s are really nice.

As for the rear sway bar, there isn't a thread on here about them and I have honestly not seen a half ton with it. That was regulated to 2/3500 trucks that had the Camper Special package.

Ive seen them on 1/2 tons but never on a rcsb.. doesn't mean they weren't on them just haven't seen them... the one truck i remember seeing it on was a 01 1500 4x4 with a 5.9 auto leather and fully loaded except sun/moon roof... short bed quad cab.. as far as adding one i believe they can be added though just bolt on... I am wishing to add one to it...

They weren't available. lol From the factory at all. Same as a sunroof, that was a dealer thing. Bolt-on, yeah, factory? Nope.

You have proof on that post it please. Couse I have a truck that says otherwise. You have a loaded truck do you have vanity mirrors in the sunshades?

You also have a 96. Weird stuff was done 95-98 with dealer options and special factory runs. Yours is the only truck I've seen with a factory/dealer sunroof that actually works.
All others I've seen have been add-ons.
And I do, lit mirrors to be exact.

I've got every option besides security and 3.92s.
