Suspension Recommendations?
Im looking for a way to stiffen my suspension on my 1993. Is there springs or shocks or something that will NOT effect the electronic ride control in a negative way?

The springs to make it as stiff as it can be will be the 88-91 HD suspension springs on the front. They have a rate of 115.5 Newtons per mm on the front, and the 84 Z51 is the stiffest rear you can get, at 87.5 Newtons per mm.
You cant throw any springs in it and it wont effect your selective ride control if its working properly now.

What about the sway bars that one fella suggested? Is that more cost effective?

Nothing is more cost effective in my opinion cause i dont know what you want to achieve, so i have no idea what will be best for you. Swaybars wont make it stiffer, and only influence side to side body roll, and different leaf springs will also do this (more so in the front).
No idea if you can get them new, better off getting good used springs, no idea on price, wont be a hell of a lot though. No links cause i dont know where youll find them over there. Im from Australia!!
