Do you experiance Bump steer?? How much different is the ride with the anti rollbar?

Thanks

Bernd, I don't have any noticeable bump steer on my truck, but the ride height is near stock at the front,so my drag link is parallel to the road when the truck is stationary. If your truck has been lowered you may need to crank the Pitman arm to get the drag link parallel to the road; this should make a big difference to the bump steer if your drag link runs steeply uphill or downhill now.

The anti rollbar (swaybar) has improved the cornering a lot, but doesn't seem to have affected the ride otherwise.

Thanks Fred, along with lots of other useful parts, I picked up a set of 1975 C10 2WD pads at the NAPA store in Denver last week, they are the correct pads for my CPP 6 lug conversion.

Here's the NAPA part number if anyone else needs it.
