LMC rear sway bar
 
Has anybody here bought and installed the rear sway bar from LMC? I’m thinking about it on my stock 72 1/2ton ,with rear leafs , stock height, is it worth it ?

I just installed the one sell at Truck and Car Shop (brand is ADDCO) on my '72 5/7 drop on leafs w/ a CPP front sway bar. I noticed an immediate improvement, I wish I would have done it when I put the front on.

How about some pictures of the install? They don't come with any instructions, ones that are usable anyway.

I did not take photos throughout, just have this one final one for now. Install was pretty straight forward, requires 4 holes to be drilled.

Just info for you.
If you have the front bar on the truck, look into the 'No Limit" rear shock location kit. I took my rear bar off because it wasn't needed after installing Rob's kit. The kit moves the shocks out to the ends of the trailing arms. Makes a much better feel when taking curves.

If your truck is a leaf truck then never mind!

Is there enough room to remove the diff cover without dropping the stabilizer bar?

I don't have any pics but I installed the same addco bar in my Suburban but in front and on top of the pinion. The bar ends in my install face forward. I had to do this because my exhaust runs down the rear frame rails (rear mounted gas tank). I had to purchase longer links (4x4) but otherwise seems to work fine.

There's a few inches gap, getting the cover would not be a problem. It's pretty easy to move out of the way too.

Thanks, that's good to know. I want one on mine because with the new shell and the Firestone tires, it has a little oversteer, without the trailer. If my wife was driving it, she'd panic, so I need to make it neutral. I'm already running 10 psi higher in the rear tires, per tire store recommendation.
