    I have a 130 with a long range tank and the sway bar actually has extended mounts that allow it to go under the tank. I have noticed the bottom of the tank has some dents in it that I put down to the sway bar possibly contacting it at full articulation.

    To increase stability, i.e cut down on the roll oversteer effect, you need to increase the understeer. Fit a bar to the front, or a bigger bar if you already have one.

    On my 110 I run a front bar from a 130 on long trips, with full roofrack etc. It helps a lot.

    I run a swaybar-less 110 flat deck with poly airs also. They are inside OME 280lb/in rated springs - 755's?. No air or at vacuum for full off-road articulation and about 12-17 psi in them for on-road stability with a ton of firewood on the deck. The flat deck means the load is higher by approx 150mm than a high cap pick up or normal pick up deck. Makes for plenty of those tippy feelings if no air bags inflated.
