this is out of curiosity.....not ment in any demeaning way......
If the ladder bars are set outside the frame rails....How does it act like a huge sway bar(Roll bar)? The reason Im asking is that 1- both sides are hinged seperately(no different from a leaf spring setup), 2-you still have articulation, travel based on coil spring and shock length, 3- the only way to get that roll bar effect is to tie in both sides of the axle with a swaybar, the sway bar is attached to the frame and to the boths sides of the axle thus reducing body roll......Im having a hard time understanding how a 3 link set up acts like roll bar without the roll bar itself.?
