Rear sway bars.... What are you running?

Just thinking of buying a rear sway bar on my truck, any ideas on which one is best.

Pretty much, it increased the rear suspension's stiffness a bit, as well as, the rear ends resistance to roll in turns...

camaro bar here

Though, there was a write up somewhere, where they tested with and without a rear swaybar and they got better results in a slolum without the rear bar. But I still have mine

Re: Rear sway bars.... What are you running?

I had the one from CPP for a while then when I switched my trailing arms to the squeare tubing ones it was reccomended by the guys from ECE to not put it back on as it was not necessary so I sold it to another member. When I added the sway bars front and rear it made a huge difference and when I swith the trailing ars in the rear it even made more of a differnce as there is zero body roll.

I would have to say with or without on the front VS with or without on the rear that the front would be a huge difference. All of the weight of a truck is on the front and even more so if you have a decent rake. The front also travels differently with independant A arms VS trailing arms or leaf springs attached to a common axle. There is a reason why many performance cars and truck would get them at least on the front even if not on the rear.
