2021 F150 Lariat FX4 5.0
Hi

I have a 2021 FX4 V8 Lariat with Tow package and 21" chrome wheels. I love the truck and enjoy the drive. It's not too firm on the Texas roads and bumps in the concrete roads don't rattle the teeth,

BUT.......

It rolls like a pig....

I've noticed that on the tollway (if you're in Dallas you know the curves) the understeer is so bad that I'm bracing my left knee against the door as I hit a bend and then I just kind of aim and hope... (if there is ever a wreck then I know I'm STOL as I expect I will be spinning past....)

Can anyone point me to actual specs of the suspension so that I can look into sway bars and do something about the handling (not the ride)?

Thanks

A rear Helwig sway bar will transform the truck. Obviously it's not a good idea off road if you need high clearance, but it puts some go-kart into the body dynamics.

Not an easy product to find in inventory though.

Just an FYI, your truck will auto slow you down if you are going to fast around a curve with a feature called curve control.
