Message:
Installed a 3" body lift, 10.5 x 31.0 x 15 Mud Terrain Tires (Good Year)and Edelbrock Performer IAS shock to my 2001. Handling is fine except going on up hill/brigde with wind and slight curve and this were the poor handling begin to show.

I'm thinking about installing a sway bar. Do you think this would fix the poor handling? Not that I drive fast nor aggressive driving.

Appreciate any feedback and suggestions.

If by bad handling you mean body roll, then yes, a sway bar can help.

Raising the body 3 inches just increased the leverage of gusts and sidewinds on your Dakota when you go over the Pali.

And where's Oaho. Can't find it on the map.
