my tire lifts off the ground when turning somewhat fast
I lifted my runner a while back. specs are in my sig. i have heard a lot of people say their truck handles better after their lift was installed, so i was taking some corners kinda fast. Around this one turn going about 15mph the truck leaned really bad and when i straightened out i felt it set down and realized my front tire was coming off the ground.i would say it cameoff the ground about a foot. I dont have a sway bar in the rear so im guessing this is the problem. another time when turning left from a stop light it did it again at like 10mph and i wasnt even being that crazy. its pretty scary and i would like to fix this problem. so i just wanted to share that story with you all. would a sway bar fix this? i know it would definatly help. has this happend to any one else?

It is the lack of the sway bar. I have the SS1.2 (LC coils) kit with swaybar still on and dont have any problems like that. I take circular freeway on/off ramps at speed and handles well.

ha! my 3rd gen extended cab with the tg hd 5" sas will lift the rear tires no problem. i did it in front of a friend one day with 38's on and he said the tire lifted 2 feet off the ground. i aired up the tires cause i was running 14 psi around town and it helped, this was before the locker too. its a toyta, your not racing the datona 500, get over it.
