Suspension Upgrade Suggestions
I have a front leveling kit on it now but I'm probably going to remove it so it will be lower in the front. I have a set of Thuren lowering shackles on order for the rear. What else can I do to make it a little more stable? Sway bars, etc? I am curious though. Will lowering it and doing sway bars, etc. hurt towing capabilities? I do tow my boat and a car hauler with my Jeep on it. Nothing bigger than that. I like the ride it has now, not too soft or too hard. I don't want a rough bumpy ride.

You can get an air suspension from Kelderman that will adjust from -1 to +2 inches and be as hard as you need. They make front systems and a 4-link rear system. I am saving my money now. I like the idea of a lift when I need it, lower when I need it and as much load capacity as I need. and always level.

ya that kelderman is nice, but adds more weight. which for most is ok, but im trying to build a street truck to keep as light as possible. Thuren makes some nice components as well...

UPDATE:
I installed the Thuren rear drop shackles and Bilstein shocks and I love the ride. I even got a chance to tow my Jeep on my car hauler and the ride is awsome. I don't really have an issue with roll so I think this setup works great for me.

As long as you have some travel before hitting the bumpstops you should be fine.When it comes to sway bars it is a matter of how you want the truck to react in hard cornering.The americans build cars/trucks to understeer thinking that most american drivers don't know how.I prefer a nuetral set up where I can induce a lil bit of oversteer with my right foot.Fatten up the rear bar to get rid of the understeer tendencies.
