unstable ride

I did do a search. Ok, how big are the EE blocks 1", 1.6, 2"? (answered, thanks)

I have a 00 xlt 4dr. It has 20s, an ee sway bar, ee front bump stop, 1" blocks, 2.5 front drop, alingment $300 (I dont wont to talk about it) and monro reflex shocks all around with 7,000 mi. The truck has 45,000. At about 75-80mph it is sorta scary. It has more body role than I remember especialy if the corner is sloped down but if it is uphill it is fine. It is like the front sway bar is disconected. I don't know if a 2" block would help or if the front shocks are bad? The alingment helped.
Thanks

EE sells 1/3/8s lowering blocks and 3 inch blocks, which they no longer recommend.
Is your EE bar installed correctly? alot of people have installed them upside down (no joke)
 






Make sure your endlinks are tightened.
 






Yes

All is installed corectly. I thought it handeled better at one time. I am thinking the front is about .5" lower than the rear stock is about 1" taller than the rear. I think it is front heavy and lowering the rear one more inch might change it. The front just seams softer than the rear. Are the monro refex shocks crap and gone bad I have replaced a rear. Should I get eddlebrock 1.5 lowered?

Yes you should, And in case you want a new set allot cheaper than from any where else, I have a set. I had less than 300 miles on them and rolled my Explorer because of a bad accident. If interested in the shocks, let me know. They are from EE and costs 70 each shock plus shipping. Will sell for 150 plus shipping...
