Best suspension/handling upgrade and increase in fuel mileage!

I have a 3/4 drop with a front 1-1/4" sway bar with poly bushings. It handled ok but oh boy did I discover something that was holding it back.
I replaced the leaking gas cap with one that didn't leak! It handles like a dream and increased my confidence in turns, and my gas mileage increased!

The simple solutions are often the best solutions.

Left turns were always sharper before I replaced my gas cap too
