[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 229034, member: 1755"] 6. Perch Mod/Swaybar Delete Not a lot to say on this one. I had Matt (SOCOMech) help me do the perch mod, and decided on the middle perch. He gave me a great deal on the labor and anyone in AZ who is willing to make the drive to North Phoenix should hit him up for a perch mod. Middle perch is night and day different than stock. It's how it should have come from the factory IMO. It only kicked me up about 1.25" or so, but it gave the truck a nice level look, eliminated brake dive for the most part, and just generally rode better. Swaybar delete is also a great mod, and it's one that you can accomplish in 30-45 mins in your own driveway with just a few tools. Basically, you have the links that tie into your LCAs and then there is 8 bolts underneath the truck. One thing to be aware of is that when you remove the nuts off the LCA links, you have to put a tiny wrench on the end of the stud to keep it from spinning while you back the nut off. This mod is great if you off-road a lot. It really lets the suspension do work like it's supposed to. Offset bumps no longer jar the truck the way they used to. The best demonstration of it that I've found is to hit a speed bump at a 45 degree angle with the bar on, and then again with the bar off. Night and day. One thing to be aware of is that it will give you a good bit more body roll on the street and not everyone is going to like that. For instance my wife, she absolutely hates it. So mine goes back on when I head overseas and comes off when I get home. It won't give you any three wheel action, but you'll get a hint of that "trophy truck roll". Try it for sure, it's an easy one to reverse if you hate it, but chances are, you'll love it. Here's one pic to show the stance: [ATTACH=full]194429[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
