Years ago I had an old 1976 Toyota pickup w/camper shell. Rode around 3 months with a built 455 Olds engine stored in back of the truck(no garage). Leveled it out and never rode better!!!

I love my Pedders! Great ride since I don't have to go offroading and combined w/ a swaybar (I have the TTR version) the car handles great. Is it a little bouncy at times? Sure since they have a slightly higher spring rate vs the stock springs. In comparison I've had other lowered cars that were like riding on 4 wheeled pogo sticks especially when the car had 3 other folks in it.

i have a 2000 silverado 1500 and it rode so hard so i went to get mulch for my front yard and just left about 6 bags in the back for a month, got more traction, rode better, and back sat a little lower, made it look a little better

thanks for the replys I have been busy since I posted and my settings Ithough would aleart me to replys to my post and did not get them.

I have installed my TTR rear sway bar, easiest sway bar install ever!
Super fast shipping.

Very noticable difference I really like it and the wife does not know I spent anymoney on the car still LOL

It does push the front end a bit now that the rear is stiffened up when I am running the car at its limits on those stock tires.

Would an Eibach front bar make any noticable difference to the front sway push or just stick with the factory SS bar?

I have read alot about the pedders, but not sure if I really want the car fully lowered I like the clearance I have without having to worry about scraping.

I would like to go to the trouble and get the car down 1/2 roughly in the front and about 1 inch in the back though without a bouncy ride. Or at least just a tiny bit in the back without sacrificing handling from what it is now.

But I need to save up for a new clutch mine is getting a bit toasty!!
