4x4 sway bars? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a such thing as a front and rear sway bar for 4x4s? Do they really help much?

a swaybar on a 4x4 would limit your travel up and down on each side independent of the other. more travel is better on 4x4s i wouldnt put one on one.

4x4's have built in sway bars called leaf springs.

oh, and nice K/10

JayDubBlazer · 12-10-2003, 07:23 AM

Yes nice truck and welcome to the board. You can get a removable sway bar that you can take off when you want to go off-roading. Many people have put them on the rear of their blazer and it said to help. Do a search there is a lot of info for using later model parts

67-72 4x4 trucks did not come out with front sway bars but guys take the ones off 73-80 4x4's and build brackets to the frame and put them on our years. Thats what I was told, I have front 4x4 sway bars for sale. Thanks Randy
