The purpose of a sway bar takes the twisting and diving force away. So I would assume it will help take away that weird swaying feeling you get from the rear of the truck driving in a slightly bumpy straight line down the road. I really don't know...all I have heard is they make road driving and cornering 100% better....and since I am a experimenter and a "Do things for yourselfer" or whatever (lol) I'm gonna try it an see. I have some tight turns in my area so I can test these out really good and say if I felt a difference. Front sway bars help ALOT with cornering...as for the back...I'm not sure yet. lol We'll find out when I get this truck done!
