This is a question from my friend. He wants less body roll in his lifted B2. 6" lift, 32's, 2 inch body lift. He is complaining that there is too much roll for his liking and he want to keep it lifted. I told him dual shock mounts already. What else would there be?

An extra shock won't help the roll, it slows it down though. Does he have his front and rear anti-sway bars still installed? If he doesn't, that would make an improvement.

He has both of them but he wants a thicker set or the style my truck has.

8" of lift for 32's? tell him to ditch the body lift and trim the fenders if he needs it, which he shouldn't... I'm running 6" or thereabouts of lift with 35's and a little fender trimming. What helps with mine is I put in a D35 and 8.8 that are wider than stock, along with 12.5" wide tires. I'm not running any sway bars and it feels fine.

Does he have a good drop pitman arm? that itself will make cornering feel very weird. The steering linkage should be near flat in order to handle good.

I agree; lose the body lift and then drop the suspension lift down or increase the tire size. I'm running 33x12.5 on 2" of lift and my truck can take corners at speed.
