I have a 4link front and triangulated 3link rear with AirShox on all 4 corners.
My truck has major body roll.
what could be the causes/remedies for this problem????
After the first pic, I got out and my brother stood on DS and I pickup the PS until the truck was level and then it stayed level.
Would a sway bar fix my issues?
Should I start with a rear sway bar, front or both?
I have attached pics for reference.
Thanks for your help......

a swaybar should fix your issue... you can run 1 swaybar that is big enough for the whole vehicle, or 2 smaller ones... I would start with a front swaybar, but packaging makes alot of decisions for you...
 
Almost 3" on frame and just over 6" on axle.
I know with my tires it should be about 5" and 10" but there isn't any room.....
The truck feels stable except on side hills....

Any suggestions on a homebrew alternative to paying $400 for a currie anti-rock. I live in mooresville but heard the circle track sway bars will not hold up and could probably find a few used ones locally.

Thanks for the input!!
 
I use and know quite a few people that use surplus circle track swaybars. I bought mine in mooresville for almost nothing. There is no difference as long as you've got a decent length and diameter bar. I can't remember the name now but there's a place near you that sells used race parts. :edit: The bars themself were so cheap, I was able to try a few different diameters. Even still, the lean that you're experiencing is just something that comes with running airshocks.
 
Muscle motorsports on 73 just south of 115 last time I was in there had tons of them ever length and size you could imagine.
Another option, maybe not the best but it will help would be to use a draw winch front or rear. Then you could load the air shocks when you sidehill.
 
you need a sway bar. i would put one on the rear. i can get you one through speedway engineering. they have every size and rate you can imagine. we run them on all our buggies.
