Re: sway bars with air ride??
I dunno about bagged, but springs, swaybar was probably one of the top 3 best things ive done to my truck!!!!
Front bar that is, no experience with rear. Wanna DIY link on how to do this and save $? I can get it if ya want (if you aint seen it already)

Re: sway bars with air ride??
I've never driven a 67 - 72 pickup that needed one in the rear, but, one up front is pretty much manditory IMO. I had a short/fleet that I swear the door handles would almost hit the road in a hard turn.
Now on my burb... that sucker could use a rear sway bar. It had no sway bar when I first got it as a 3/4 ton. Lowered it and converted it to a 1/2 ton with a bar, but it still leans a lot in the turns. But suburbans have a lot more weight up high compaired to a pick up. |

Re: sway bars with air ride??
If you decide to put one on. look for one from a One ton, there bigger. actual dimension differences I'm not sure of at this moment,but it is a direct bolt on. I pulled one from an 84 c30 my dad crushed couple weeks ago. Andy that might be what you should try on your burb.

Re: sway bars with air ride??
I've got bags with a front sway bar and have been driving mine on the freeway for the last 3 weeks 65-70 mph no body roll on freeway transitions what so ever. Drives as good if not better that my 07 pickup. I've got a little bigger than stock sway bar.
