Has anyone upgraded the rear swaybars on a Power Wagon? Currently, I have the stock swaybars in the rear and recently I've been noticing a lot of excessive body roll that wasn't there originally. Someone mentioned in passing that this is something that is does occur after around 20,000 miles or so. I do a lot of towing and I'd like to eliminate this excess body roll. Any suggestions?

I think a lot of the 1500 guys switch to Hellwig. Not sure about 2500s though.

From what i have read anyway, the thuren track bar setup helps a fair bit with that feeling.

Body roll when turning or that rear end waggle when hitting bumps?

How many miles ? Rear control arm upgrade can make a big difference.

As mentioned in an above post, it depends on the exact issue you are having. If it's truly just body roll when doing a constant turn I'm not sure the trackbar will correct the issue. The swaybar and the track bar do different things. However you might try contacting Thuren and talking about the situation.
The biggest thing I have a question about is that you say it's gotten worse over time.

Thuren rear track bar will take care of the Waggle in the rearend, as CJC off road refers to it. It really helped mine.

I assume you both have the Thuren bar installed? Does it make a noticeable difference?
Yes, it does! It's really tightened up the rear end. I consider it one of the best mods I've done for this truck. It's not a direct swap out - Thurens bar is longer than the factory bar and it gets lifted a bit higher so be prepared to drill some holes for the mounting bracket on the left. I installed it on the garage floor but I did end up jacking the left side up and removing that wheel so I could get a better angle with my drill. Oh, and make sure you approach this job, if you do it, with a sharp !@#$%^& drill bit :cool:
