    body roll? springs or shocks.

    G'day guys and girls just a stupid question or not. my gu patrol has a 4 inch lift old man emu springs and shocks. now I have added more weight front and rear it isn't stable anymore. on the slightest lean it feels like it wants to tip over. any ideas it has a lot of body roll.

    Have your swaybars been removed? You'll probably be needing some stiffer springs, maybe think about reducing the lift height to bring you COG down.

    You wont really get rid of the body roll, but an appropriate set of springs for the weight and good shocks will slow the body roll
    Some thing like a whiteline heavy duty swaybar will help with body roll without the need for a much heavier spring and comprimised ride quality
