Actually that flop caused minimal body damage just by luck the truck landed in a shallow swale landing only on the rear corner post and the top corner of the grill guard not even a scratch in the doors and no broken glass. It was easy enough to right it with another truck just had to keep a little tension on it till it rolled forward off the hill so it didn't tip over again. IFS does limit wheel travel some what but once you learn it's limits it is okay. In this situation I think that the suspension set up was a big factor I had just installed HD torsion bars and had them cranked too tight, there was absolutely no give in the front plus the fact the upper control arm bushings were nearly seized solid. I have since then rebuilt the front end added a sway bar disconnect and am now slowly tightening the TBs a little at a time to get the lift I want. It seems to help if I let the TBs adjust to the tension I put in and then do it again. Dave
Damn...you were lucky!
I've got Ironman bars on mine, and they are cranked enough to nearly match the lift in the rear. Swaybars are deleted. Low-profile bump stops for uptravel; no bumpstops for downtravel (I've yet to hit them hard; I wheel fairly gently). You have to load a little more weight on the front corners to get them to flex, but they go halfway decent when they need to.
I've found the aftermarket t-bars, while providing more lift, are also "softer" as compared to tightly-cranked stock t-bars. The stock t-bars felt like pogo sticks on my last truck after I cranked them; these feel stock despite nearly 2" of lift!
