Reverse Level / Rear drop

[entintado]

I leveled my 2019 Warlock RWD with these and somehow it seems like side to side sway INCREASED. Is that possible? What can I do now to "tighten" it up? I'm happy with the look at least
(I had done this same thing to a '17 Big Horn and don't recall any issues at all)

I used air bags in them to truly return and be better than stock. For me with a 15 crew cab 6.4 bed it was way too loose for my liking but once I put airlift 1000hd bags in them and a hellwig rearsway bar it was more than night and day.

Maybe first check if you dont already know whether you have a rear sway bar. the 4th gens it was not a standard feature for some reason as I came across alot of 1500's even high trim levels without them from factory.

My 15 sport with the rare mopar body kit and fiberglass bed cover. Miss this truck.

Had maxtrac rear lowering springs for the reverse level with airlift 1000hd black bags in them and the wireless airlift compressor setup.

It has sway bar. I think I need adjustable links and new shocks. I think the sway bar isn't sitting right and the shocks are simply compressed constantly now and have little or no travel left.
With my big horn I switched the springs and that was it, but that was a way bigger truck; full crew cab with 6'4" bed. I think the sheer weight of that thing just kept it stable maybe

Same I used stock shocks. But I did loosen the 4 arms, shocks and sway bar links set it down on flat surface then retorque so that maybe a resolution but most likely not. should do that anyway.

Outside of you, no one that looks at your pickup knows it has been levelled, unless they are riding in it with you and it is bouncing over bumps and squirrelling around on the road. They are built with the nose slightly lower than the rear for aerodynamics, which produces better mileage and also better stability on the road. My suggestion, just put it back to stock and enjoy a good riding stable vehicle. No one besides you will ever comment on it not being level.

100% inaccurate. It is 100% noticeable from others and I was constantly complimented anywhere I went and I drive all up and down east coast and out central. The ride is far better than stock, far more stable when reversed level and there is nothing wrong by doing so. Just because someone has issues with a modification doesn't mean the only solution is return to stock. They dont do the rake for aerodynamics they do it for tow/haul when a load on the rear to do exactly what the reverse level lowering springs do.... and thats to increase the stability and ride comfort when loaded in the rear... just saying...

You and I are not going to agree on this, but I respect that you have a different perspective. Where I live there are more pickups than cars. I don't recall anyone ever complimenting or critcizing a PU for being levelled or not. Around here, it takes a 6" lift for anyone to even notice.

Thanks for your input, but I didn't do it to have anyone notice or comment on my truck. I did it because I like how it looks. I'm just here looking for some advice on what else is required besides the springs to dial in the ride quality.. I don't care what anyone "notices" about anything....

Okeedoakee then. Carry on McDuff!

People have reported stopping rear end side to side sway by upgrading the panhard bar. Some had the issue while towing but that probably amplified the issue.

When i reverse leveled my 11 ram I cut the rear coil springs and it was fine. I didn't have any swaying or crazy bouncing. I did however install airlift bags because I towed an enclosed trailer from fron time to time and it would sag pretty good without the bags. When not towing I would let all the air out of the bags and run 0 psi and it was fine driving around. This picture is with the airbags and a 900lb harley in the trailer

I upgraded the rear arms links and panhard with core 4x4 package. And a hellwig sway bar. No problems at all with maxtrac lowering springs. No hop or sway. Love the look

I've been thinking about the hellwig solid bar. You notice big difference in handling?
