i'm using the 1-1/4' sway bar from a one ton dually on my '70 2wd blazer and i like it. i can't tell you if it's better than the 1-1/8' bar but it works great in my truck.

Both of my 72's came with a 1 1/8" sway bar from the factory. One is a C/10, the other a C/20. They both handle great.

In a halfton pickup, especially as light as these trucks are, I don't think you would notice a big difference either way. In a 3/4 or 1 ton truck, you may notice a slight difference.

Either way, I would get the 1 1/4" bar just for bragging rights. :lol:

I don't think you will notice much difference either. I would just go with the bigger one. My truck didn't have one when I got it and the 1 1/4" bar made it handle alot better.
