    I order a sway bar from stylintrucks.com because i had so much body roll even when my truck is lowered. but now its awesome, i barely have any body roll we i take hard turns. It only took me about 2 hours to complete. well here are some pics of the difference between the stock sway bar n Belltech sway bar.

    They look very similar other than one is chromed... maybe its just the bushings thats improving?
    Do you feel the difference?

    just for everyone to know , the belltech rear sway bar sucks. it is meant to fit with a fuel cell ( who the hell has a fuel cell without bags or crazy lifted suspension to go under it?) and will not sit right. I think I may try the addco in the back just because its supposed to bolt to stock mounts. I see the stock holes but the belltech doesn't use them and protrudes at least 3 inches into the gas tank

    I was wondering if anybody had the belltech rear swaybar, i guess im glad i didnt order it:eek:

    Does the addco bar use the stock mounting points????
    I didnt know we had those, i know there is no bar in the rear but i didnt know the mounts were there.

    I just ordered an Addco rear bar, 145$ shipped to my door.

    The belltech bar from summit 167+shipping :eek:
    Isnt ebay Great!!:D

    Im not sure which front bar is better, the same guy that i just got the rear bar from has a front one too. 150$ shipped

    The belltech is 167+shipping

    Im leaning to the addco cuz its a little cheaper and id like to have the same brand front and rear

    My front and rear Addco sway bars should be here within the week. I will post pics and report on them when I get them installed.

    Definitely invest in a rear sway bar. It will make a HUGE difference. I have a Hellwig on mine and no body roll.:D

    Poly bushings & increase in O.D. is what your after. Also the tigter the bar to the frame the better!
    Some,most are steel,if chrome molly spring steel ,better!:cool:

    I got my front Addco bar last week and got it installed yesterday. I hope to see the rear within the next week or so, supposedly it shipped the 23rd.

    I will update my build thread when I get both sway bars and my wheels and tires installed.

    OD on the front is 7/8", I don't remember the rear diameter. The front bar uses the rear mounting hole on the A arm and a very short link to make it really stiff.

    You should definiely get front and rear bars. I had sway bars on my 90 single cab back in the 90's and it was really fun to drive.
