Default Re: Edelbrock Trailing Arms and Panhard Rod

I don't think anyone sells all that stuff in a kit. I have, however, done most of the things you've asked about...panhard bar, trailing arms, sways, etc. Recently, I added Hotchkis sways and trailing arms along with Kryptonite tie-rods. Unbelievable difference. The truck corners SO much flatter and drives awesome. I'm assuming the sways were the biggest help, but the trailing arms couldn't hurt, either. I keep finding myself going around corners faster to see if I'm imagining it, and apparently I'm not. It also gets power to the ground better coming out of corners. Not as much squat in the outside rear.

i did some looking around and found some good deals on some parts. eibach sway bars about 300 bucks. edelbrock panhard bar for 85.and trailing arms for 170. this coupled up with new shocks, and i think my truck would handle pretty good. i was getting kinda nervouse about doing a 2-3" lift and not really doing anything to help tighten everything up. so i think this stuff would work perfect with what im planning.

obviously the sway bars are the best bang for your buck to help the suspension, but how noticeable was it after you put on the trailing arms or panhard bar?

I did the trailing arms, sways, and tie-rods all at once, so I couldn't tell you how the trailing arms affected the ride compared to the sways. I did notice, however, that the truck is more solid over bumps, so I would have to assume that is due to trailing arms. There is less "shudder".

Sway bars are next on my list. It like to get it a little stiffer on the turns.

Below is a list of what I've got in the front and rear so far. I've got a nice tight feel to the steering, and the UCAs and longer front shocks eliminated the harsh ride I got after cranking the torsion bars. I'm very pleased with the outcome...I think sway bars will simply be the icing on the cake.

Front:
Cognito GM 8-Lug Upper Control Arm Kit (UCAK100001)
Bilstein / Cognito Front Shock For Use With Cognito Upper Control Arms (BILSTEIN-BE5-E381-T0)
Cognito GM 8-Lug Idler Pivot Assembly (IPAWG8)
Cognito Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit (8-Lug) (PISK2008)
Truxxx Torsion Keys (405020)
Fabtech Hummer H2 Steering Stabilizer (FTS8004)
DMAX - (KRYPTONITE) Series Tie Rods (KRYPTONHD)

Rear:
Edelbrock Hummer H2 Panhard Rod (EDE-5262)
Cognito Hummer H2 Bilstein Rear Shocks (BE5-A937-H0)
Hotchkis Rear Lower Control Arms / 2003-2010 HUMMER H2 & SUT (2KS1302)
Truxxx 1 inch coil spring spacers (?)
