Exclamation Need Advice!!

I have an 05' F-150 supercab XLT 4X4 w/50,000 miles and I'm looking to reduce some sway in the front suspension. I was wondering if anybody can give me some advice or recommend doing anything that can reduce some of that sway. Where I live has got a lot of windy roads and it can get kinda annoying, and no I don't speed often lol. I know ya'll will pull through for me so thank you to whoever helps me!

Check out the Bilstien 5100 shocks. I have heard good things about them performance wise and they should give the truck a sport type ride.

Thicker sway bars will reduce body roll and they will still retain the stock spring rate. You could also stiffen the springs but that will harshen the ride. Stiffer shocks will only slow down the sway not stop it.

What tires are you running on the vehicle? P series or LT tires? And yes new shocks will help, especially if you are still running OE.

You can drop it a couple inches too like I did!
