Need handling help..

I'm disagreeing with adding ANYTHING until you get it sorted out AS IS. These old girls handle pretty damned good for what they are without sway bars when they are "RIGHT". Sounds to me like you have something "WRONG". I didn't see where you said you had it aligned. If you didn't have a front end alignment after doing all that work, it would certainly drive terribly. Sort out what you HAVE before you add anything or you may compound the problem and make it very difficult to diagnose. Sway bars do work well, but they compliment an already correct suspension. Adding one as a band aid for steering and suspension systems that are not correct will just complicate the issue.

well, you are right, i havnt had it aligned yet since the front end build, but i did align it with a lazer and wheel plates and got it pretty good. It drives straight when letting go of the steering wheel and all but yes, i do need to take it to be aligned on a machine. Does anyone have the 'Better specs' sheet for the alignment that used to be passed around here? I remember seeing this and it said to have them align it to these 'updated' specs rather than what the factory called for back then..I will tell you that when going a little hard into a turn, the front seems to feel like its ok but feels like the back end is what causes it to feel like its going to roll..kinda like when the back end starts following the turn of the front end, it feels floppy..not good at describing stuff..I will tell you i have air shocks on the rear because the rear sags so much.. I need to find new leaf springs badly..any recommendations for the leafs?
