I wasn't sure if the Moog stuff is better though. Isn't that what everyone replaced their Fabtech stuff with?

Was thinking of trying this: http://www.cognitomotorsports.com/02...t_assembly.htm

and this: http://www.cognitomotorsports.com/02...tman_idler.htm

What do you think of that?

The more I learn about the front end the more I wonder if my torsion bars are still as stiff as they were when they were new. I usually check the height on all 4 corners of the car while it's running, after the air suspension has cycled and stopped. It's still at 42.5 inches off a level floor, all the way around, so I'm not sure if the torsion bars are an issue, yet. Why does it feel so squishy all the time? I rode in someone elses 03 hummer a few weeks ago and when they came to a stop, the front end hardly moved. Whats up with that?

BTW, I'm still looking for new swaybar bushings and can't locate any that aren't stock.
Phil, I left you a message at Trailduty.
I would definitely do the Cognitos, both routes. But you are most likely wearing out your idler and pitman arms much quicker do to the issue we recognized with certain H2s.
