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.

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.

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
