Rear sway bar

Are there any problems with running a bigger diameter sway bar in the rear then in the front on a coil spring truck. I have the stock bar in front.

You need to have a bigger bar in the front to have any swaybar in the rear at all! You will get and unsafe under-steer (push) if you don't keep them matched. This is even more pronounced in the rain.
On any vehicle where there is a rear-bar option the front bar is changed too.

i have the stock 1/2 front bar on my truck and the same size aftermarket hellwig bar in the back. the only thing it did was improve performance

although i know i should get a bigger bar in teh front to take the most advantage of it all, i just havent had time to go pick one up yet.
