And if it were a glass of wine, would there be anything left to test his premise, after the first few miles? Tongue

It was most definitely a cup of water. Anything else would mess up my standing wave calculations! yuck, yuck, yuck! Smile

Yes Ms. Bee, you got it, (proceed to the head of your class Smile). I'd add that Wanderlodge didn't seem to have any rhyme or reason for whatever sway bar they chose. I've seen 1.75" and 2.125" diameter bars scattered throughout the LX/LXi production. Removing either bar is a huge improvement. I'd say, and so do others who have done it, that getting rid of either bar relieves probably 60% or so of the bounce. You can gain another 10% improvement thru careful Koni shock adjustment (with Koni FSD's on the tag and drive), tire pressure settings, and tag axle air pressure setting. The last 30 percent is still up for grabs! Ditching the bar has been corroborated with Ridewell. Bill Mattocks, long time Ridewell engineer, ordains the change saying that the suspension wasn't shipped with an anti-sway bar and doesn't require one.
