So your now running 88s - what spring did you have prior? Do you have any measurements for a before and after? Are you still running all your spacers?

I ran 84's with no sway bars for a few months. 88's seemed to help quite a bit with body roll around turns. IMO it doesn't feel much different than the stock suspension lean we're all familiar with.
