3 inch drop now have rear sway problem
on my 2001 tahoe 2wd i dropped the rear with 3 inch eibach springs and now when i hit a bump on the road the rear sways.. i have 22's on it and they were on before the drop. i removed the bump stops to make sure that wasnt the problem. i have replaced the rear shocks and installed a sphon adjustible pan hard bar. cant seem to get ride of the sway.. just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before.. i also replaced the shocks with stock replacements w/o shock extenders.
thanks for the help

I had this problem after I installed drop blocks on nissan years ago, but anyway when I got to looking I found that my u bolts where loose and everytime I hit a bumb the axle would shift. So ye might wanna check that out.

A stiffer shock may help as well (bilstein)
Or helper bags at ideal psi to stiffen rear a bit...try the first two first..

Did u upgrade the sway? Check the end links as well. I changed/upgraded my end links and did the Eiback sway...only so many things that could be wrong...stiffer springs, stiffer/larger sway, stiffer shocks will hold corners better and be harsher ride, and result is little more "dancing" if u hit a bump on sharp curve unless u "tune" the whole setup. Mine seems to be a decent balance with the Edelbrock IAS shocks & traction bars and similar springs to urs...
