got the rear anti sway bar on!

took about 45 minutes to install. It was mike's old hellwig one he had for sale. i had to flip it under the axle or else it would have hit the bed on every single bump.

i can tell a difference with it on. not a huge one, but i can tell that its helping out. very easy to install. and a very nice mod. havent had a chance to push it really hard on the bigger curves around here since people are always driving slow on the highway durning the day, but i will later when i take my girlfriend home. anyway, i'll post pictures tommorow, maybe, if its not raining to bad after i get off work.

Eric:

How about some pictures while you are at it. Going to do the same someday.

Enter a few hard corners going 10-20mph over the limit and you'll notice a BIG difference.

well, the rear bar helps A LOT! i can noticibly tell a huge difference when i'm getting on the gas in a real curvy part of the highway. i passed a semi, on the inside, on a 2 lane highway, going 80 in a 65 with my foot all the way in the gas, and the only thing that swayed was myself.

i need to get some new bucket seats

Eric,
Thanks for the post Dude,

I need one on my truck.

I don't really notice it till I drive the Z/28 I have.
That thing feels like a go-cart compared to the truck. Waaay out handles it.

I second the motion that we need pics too.

I've got front and back on mine.

Wouldn't have it any other way. I drive hard thru turns, and have fun with it.

Guess I got that from riding bikes all my life.
