Body Roll

Body Roll
My tahoe seems to have a lot body roll and feels unstable when swerving. Its all stock and is much higher in the rear than front. Wondering if i tightin up the torsion bars a little if this would help by removing some of the rake out of the truck. Its a 02 with the tow package.. Thanks, Chris..

The Poly's as LARAIDER's suggested will help and if you don't have the rear sway bar consider adding one or beefing up the ones you have.
Also consider the height and width of the tires you have, tall tires are going to affect roll as will tire pressure.

If you do add a rear bar w/o increasing the diameter of the front one, you will tend to go from understeer (plow) to oversteer (rear swings out). Nothing wrong w/ this as long as you know about it and how to handle. But if someone else drives it, they could easily wind up in the weeds by just take an off ramp too fast. Just something to be aware of.

- Original shocks?
- What size tires and how many miles?
- How much lower is the front?
- Taken off-road a lot?
IMO depending on vehicle wear, changing shocks and tires (new, lower profile, or higher load rating) is the first place to start. On the NBS, you can crank the torsion bar keys to level it out and it may help. BTW, how sever are you swerving?
