Strut Bars?

[attackdog]

Does anyone use them? What are the advantages or disadvantages of having on? Thanks.

Re: Strut Bars?

You mean Sway Bars? There is no place to put Strut bars in our trucks... Strut bars link both sides of the chassis together over the top of the tower strut mounts and make the frame more rigid and flex less under torsional stress (turning). Sway bars link the suspension together on both sides under the truck and stabilize the truck by reducing body roll.

O.K. I guess I am talking about the bar that goes under the hood that connects from one strut mount to the other. It is something that I am seeing quite a bit in the imports and didn't know if this is something that can be utilized on our trucks. Thanks.

Re: Strut Bars?

We dont have struts or strut towers on ours. I think sway bars and performance shocks or a coil-over setup are the only options we have. Our trucks have a complete frame to start with. Most import cars are unibody and need every bit of extra rigidity to strenghten them up.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that.

Strut bars are for cars.
