I just got sub frames, havent installed them yet, but i think both would be overkill, too much added weight.

So what would you recommend? I'm leaning more towards the sway bars because less weight,and no welding required to install them.

The added what little bit of weight of either of the two would outwiegh the weight issue.Either of the 2 helps alot,both even more..Ever heard the saying every little bit helps,it adds up..But its your vehicle

Both...
but subframe connectors are great... get them welded on.

So you'd recommend the subframe rather than the sway bar?

I too would recommend both. Though I have yet to put my sway on I DO have subs and they made a MARKED improvement with the rigidity of the vehicle. Not to mention it helped get rid of ALOT of those annoying squeaks and rattles my ride had.

do both!, and to make up for the added weight, remove your spare and jack tools...get lighter front bucket racing seats, and remove the rear seating area

or hey get a carbon fiber hood, saves a huge amount of weight

I don't really want to remove my spare because that's something that I might need to do. I also don't want to remove the back seat, because I won't be able to haul my friend's a$$es(which sometimes might be good). So with all that, what should I get? I'm leading more towards the sub, but the sway bar seems more likely to happen.
