Need to stop body roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I need some guidance on the mods needed to drastically reduce this body roll in my 1997 LT 4 X 4 Blazer? I plan to change the stock shocks (190k) out to stiffer but I am sure I need to something with the stabilizer bars right? I see that the front bar is very thick but the endlinks look like doo doo. Thanks in advance for the help.

Get Energy Suspension Polyurethane sway bar bushings. They'll make a huge difference, even over brand new stock bushings.

Here is a link to Jigg's website, which has all kinds of suspension components and other cool stuff for blazers, s-10's, and colorado's.

Also if you get some larger diameter shocks like 46mm shock pistons (found in Edlebrock IAS, KYB MonoMax, maybe some others too) they will help a lot. My guess is that you would need to replace the sway bar bushings and maybe some other bushings. But the shocks will definately help a lot.

Very cool of you brother. Thanks
Is this the kit for both sway bars or only the front? http://www.shop.synergyoffroad.com/p...p;productId=68

Does my 97 LT have a the 33mm front sway bar? Thanks

I am not sure. Another route to go is to get the same brand name on Ebay. It might go into better depth there. I would think that we all have the same size sway bars and I think they are 33mm sway bars.

What's the total cost look like to do all bushings and shocks? On avg?

not sure about total cost depends on what shocks you get. but another option to stiffen the rear end is an add a leaf. which are great if you do a lot of towing like i do in the summer time ( i pull my 2100 lbs motocross trailer). you could also do a tbar crank which will stiffen the front end but cause more wear on front end components

I have a 2001 lt 4 door 4x4 uk spec so
I went with add a leaf, new shocks & spacers
it made one hell of a difference
