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.

Running with no sway bars does makes things interesting. I just slow down a little more

I have no sway bars and 35's, and I've never even came close to lifting a tire on a sharp turn.

Did you do an alignment after you lifted it? If it's way off up front, that could really mess with your cornering

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.
