You better build your own sway bar and build it super strong. Most antiroll kits are designed for cars that dont cork over that hard. I have a stock suspention malibu that used to leave on the passenger door handle. I looked at buying one but they were way too lightweight. I built my own and built it bomb proof and I still tweeked it. You car looks good with the mini tub and it would be nice to fix the problem but would it be possible to put the shocks back into the stock location and try it?

Chicks dig twisted wheelies. How about adding another leaf on the right side?

I checked the pins on the rear, they are good, also string checked it that is good. We put the shock back as close to the stock location as possible and angled the tops in a touch, it didn't help at all. I have installed the door bars as of last night hopefully that will help a bit and I will just throw an anti roll at it, I would love to see some specs and materials of one that you made for yours. Thanks for all your input.

Looks a lot like some serious frame and roll cage stiffness problems to me.

the car did only have a 4 point cage in it, I have this week welded in the door bars, the car does have frame connectors on it and I are in the process of beefing them up as well. Keep in mind the car was minit tubbed and the leafs were moved in about 5 inches on each side and the shocks were moved in about 3 inches on each side. I just want it to go straight again.
