In an attempt to get my lx450 back to feeling stable on the road or during turns at least I am researching some solutions.
I have the old man emu heavy 2.5 inch lift with about 50k miles on it.
I hate how much body roll I have on my truck and I know it used to be way less than it rolls now.
The roof rack does have the Yakima storage canister but that thing is very light and all I have in it is my tent. I don’t think it’s enough to make that much of a difference. Especially since I used to carry the roof top tent up there.
I want to replace the shocks that came with the old man emu kit but want to upgrade to a slightly stiffer shock?
Anybody have any suggestions for an upgrade?
Please don’t suggest a product you have not personally used.
Also going to upgrade the rear sway bar to this product from white line.
Anybody in the club used this product?
I have already upgraded every busing in the suspension. I also have the castor correction plates on the front control arms, not that this would matter but some people say there truck performed worse without doing the castor correction. I personally have never noticed the difference.
I think that with some upgraded shocks and the upgraded sway bar the truck will perform better hopefully. It’s worth trying because the truck just rolls way to much now and it didn’t used to do that before.
Again if your an 80 owner let me know what has worked for you personally.
Thanks

Engineered to 'Activate More Grip', sway bars are principally designed to reduce body roll or sway. By reducing body roll, lateral loads are spread more evenly across the tires thereby increasing cornering grip and improving outright performance. This Whiteline 30mm fixed position sway bar =...
