To the OP:
Not trying to be rude or give you a hard time, but I'm confused as to why you would buy a truck for all the off road characteristics and then be annoyed by them and try to figure out how to chip away at them...just asking...

Personally I didn’t care for the body roll on the street and went with the hellwig rear sway bar. Eliminated most all of the unwanted body roll and made the road handling a lot more pleasurable without really hurting any other aspect. Personally I off-road very little and have no plans for any hardcore off-roading, but if I wanted to it could be removed in just a few minutes.

Thanks for Great replies.
I agree that by tweaking the characteristics of stock raptor goes against what it is. But I love to drive a little fast on the highway and was just wondering what would help without jeopardizing much off road. No doubt raptor is already awesome, to me a less body roll on road would bring a better experience. And of course it will see plenty of dirt. That’s what I bought for. Lol

No one on FRF can ever answer a question without lecturing or throwing out ******** information about what the truck is built for. Geez this forum is full of trash.

These are a “C” load tire, which when combined with a 35” on 17 really gives a lot of the side roll you feel.

I ran D and then E 35/17’s on my last truck. The heavier sidewalls make a huge difference, and shouldn’t make the ride too harsh because of the Raptor’s supple suspension.
I think it is a good way to go.

If you haven’t tried it yet, run more air, also makes a big difference!
