It's an 1 1/6 or 1 1/8 I can't remember I have a trailer ball wrench that fits it and it has both of those sizes on it.

You will not notice a difference with the sway bar missing on the front end. I pulled mine and it has 33" tires...but it works just like it did when there was a bar there. The camber and caster are both controlled by the top eccentric in that ball joint. You can get different ones that have different degrees from certain autopart stores, but it is BEST to already know what you need so you don't have to do it several times.

BTW, if I had a dually, I too would lower it. I want one that would seat all 5 of us and get 30 mpg...but I have a strange feeling that is a pipe dream.

Yeah, you have to take the ball joints out of it and air hammer the old ones out to put the new ones in. Hammer that thing to the ground. If it was me, I would knock it down like you are doing and then chanel it a bit to get it as low on the body as I could. Unfortuntatly, to do that right, it takes a LOT of time. I am not sure why there is not a difference in the way it drives with and w/o a sway bar. MAYBE if you were autocrossing it, there may be a difference, but I did not notice it at all when I pulled mine.

Little confused on the lowered 4X4 and all, but I am a huge proponent of "Your money, your car, you do what you want" so take that as you will. Also, is that a Daytona next to you in the first pic?
