Rear Sway bar options?
Looking for info on rear sway bars for our trucks... actually '60-'72.
What are some companies that make rear bars, and how do they attach to the truck? Even a list of companies that make them, and/or some installation instructions would work. I went to Hellwig's site, but it was slow and borderline useless. Thanks, -Brad

Re: Rear Sway bar options?
I Googled "Hellwig" and found this link for a seller in addition to the Hellwig site. It has Hellwig and another brand. Maybe it'll help.
http://www.suspensionconnection.com/...ry=Sway%20Bars I put a Hellwig rear bar on my 69 in 1971 and took it off when I started my restoration a couple years ago. I bought it to help handle the large cab-over camper. I won't be using it again. |

Re: Rear Sway bar options?
Thanks guys.
Someone told me there's one that attaches by the shock mounts, or that area. Anyone seen that? -Brad

Re: Rear Sway bar options?
I haven't looked to see if Addco makes a '60-72 rear bar, but I've used their rear bars on two different trucks ('92 C1500 & '05 Sierra 1500) and the installation was pretty straight forward with very good instructions. It's probably worth the time to just give them a call.

Re: Rear Sway bar options?
Looks like Addco makes a 7/8 inch bolt on rear bar for our trucks.

I like to see one installed. Does it install behind or in front of the axle?

Re: Rear Sway bar options?
The coil versions seem to mount to the flats of the factory trailing arms, I'm planning on using the Porterbuilt tubular arms is there a sway bar that would easily work with those?
