The best "cheap mod" you can do for your truck handling.
Find a 73-87 3/4-ton (1-1/4") sway bar and add some Energy Suspenion bushings.
I agree 100% with lolife99 as I added the 1 1/4" sway bar with the poly bushing and ECE brackets for lowered trucks to my truck and what a difference in handling.

Sweet. Yup, that's Charlie, he does great work and stands behind it. I had him do one of my trucks years ago.

Re: Lowered my truck finally! Pics inside
Bigguy69- The name of the shop is called Charley's Drop Shop.. they fab the arms in house by raising the lower ball joint 2".. they sell them on CL here locally for 279 a pair as well. From what I understand Charley sold part of the business and is now simply called the Dropshop ran by a guy named Jacob.
