    My buddy installed the traxxas sway on the front the other day. I was surprised it worked so well!!! I wish I could use it on the LT rockers on my summit!

    When you turn hard, the weight of the truck is shifted to the outside, causing the shocks on that side to compress more, allowing the body to "roll". With sway bars, they keep the suspension a little tighter on whichever side you're turning to help reduce the body roll.
