According to Dodge, The new longer leafs are supposed to do away with the need for sway bars.

Non sequitur. The DC rep is blowing smoke. A sway bar (or anti-roll bar) works only one way: by trying to force the suspension movement on one side fo the vehicle to mimic the suspension movement on the other side. So if the left side moves 2 inches (from a bump), the right side would (ideally) also move two inches, even if it didn't hit anything.



There's no way a longe leaf spring can fix this.

don't kill the messanger, but I noticed this before I order my '03 and was told that the older bars would fit the new truck if needed ... ... ..... so far I can't say I've needed it.

Interesting. . I suppose it's possible that the OEM sway bar from the '02 would fit, but the aftermarket Hellwig kit wouldn't... after all they used completley different mounting points.



Did the '02 have any extra brackets welded to the housing for the anti-swaybar?
