Gotta say thanks one more time to Matt Man. Just finished installing the Offroad Designs swaybar correction/disconnect system. Took my wife for a test drive over some of the roughest roads we have around here. I quote her "I'd go on a road trip in this". I think this may be the best $110.00 I've spent on this truck!
You still feel every bump, but I'm no longer clenching both my gut and my teeth to keep from chipping them. I'm even still using the same shocks. I think that I am finally over the hump going from "I'm satisfied to be finally at least driving this" to "this is actually getting fun to drive". Still think I need to get the 5-speed in though
Did some more carb tuning also over the last couple weekends, and it seems to be pretty good now. Of course its 76* here today so not a big challenge as far as getting it warmed up.
