Now that you have spent the time leveling your truck, changing the track bar, changing the sway bar, how does it ride in the real world. Does it still want to slam your head into the side glass as you enter your drive way or any entrance for that matter? I'm looking to soften up my front end and get down to the comfort of letting the front differential do it's thing. does anyone here have any thoughts on what they did and how it actually work out for them. My truck rides like a buck board and don't want to pack Preparation H in my tool kit!!

Right on H4J! I had a jeep like that once, just a little wild on the street sometimes.

Mine is stable as can be my old 14 jeep jk i pulled the rear sway bar and if i cranked the wheel from a stop and stomped on it in 1st gear i could lift a front wheel in the air lol
 
You have two options to eliminate the head to glass effect. Either ditch the sway bar altogether, or upgrade to a carli or thuren torsion sway bar. I have the thuren and it completely eliminated that rocking side to side.
 
Upgraded the shocks and pulled the front swaybar. Truck rides and handles great. It’s more predictable without the front swaybar, imho.

Yep i find all my solid axle trucks have had better on road manners with the sway bar removed
 
AT tires and running 50psi helped my ride quality . Haven’t done track or sway bars yet.
 
I can't offer much in terms of which components did what, as I did everything at the same time, but whether it be the combination of (lift/shocks/wheels/tires/track bars/sway bars) or if it is all thanks to the Thuren sway bar, that side-to-side roller coaster is gone. I can confidently hit any entrance way faster than I should and don't have to worry about bruised kidneys nor a concussion.
