Ive got a few questions. Which i belive I've asked on my build thread but i wanted to expand and explain here.

So for thoes who don't know i have a lifted 79 c10. 4.5" spindle lift. It has quite alor of body roll, but no sway bar. I have some peeps telling me I need to do a tubular upper control arm(have someone who will build them for me) and i need to do coilovers. However I am wondering if this is nessacary? Also if it will help with the roll? I. Assuming is have to get some for a c30?

Now I also have another guy, I'm very skeptical about this, saying on my rear axle I need to put my shocks to the back side instead of one front one back???

Quite confusing figured I'd clarify them.

It's just as frame for the next month and half while getting painted.

swaybars will help with body roll more than coil-overs. and there cheap. you will most likely haft to make drop brackets for the swaybar so it will reach your a-arms.
i used a piece of 3" square tubing to lower my bar on my 8" lifted crewcab.
weird your getting such massive amounts of roll. i took my swaybar off when i went to cross-over and it handles pretty much 95% the same. i can hit corners at 50-60 and doesn't even come close to feeling like it'll go over
and shocks staggered are best. it helps counteract torque, or axle wrap

Well it's also got 35" tires on 15" rims. And the current springs might be kinda weak. They're ebay springs. Can you send a picture of the drop bracket?

In my opinion I think a sway bar could do it for the truck. And if not some c20 springs could.
