opinion on sway bars

I think Im pretty much sold on adding a front sway bar, just not sure were im going to buy it, probably LMC ( comes with brakets from them). But not sure if its worth it to add a rear sway bar, I just put on a new tracking bar ( the one that hooks to the frame and diff). Do you guys think adding a rear sway bar along with the rear tracking bar would be benificial or over kill. Any advice on Brand or company to buy it from I need the brakets also.

Re: opinion on sway bars

First, welcome to the board!

You might actually want to ask this question in the Suspension forum, or the specific model forum for your truck (60-66, 67-72, 73-87...). You will get far more responses by posting this someplace else.

IMO you can't go wrong in adding a sway bar. As far as locating a front sway bar you can check the local junkyards and pickup one for $20-50 or watch the parts board as well. As far as a rear sway bar, I'm not sure if it would be overkill or not, but I'd say that every little bit will help. You will also have to consider the future for your truck, are you going to lower it....? The front/rear sway bars might require being raised if you decide to lower it. I know that CPP offers a rear sway bar, but there's also a thread on the board of someone adding a Camaro sway bar to the rear of a 67-72 truck. Here's a thread with information about this... linky.

Can a mod move this to an appropriate section? Thanks!
