Replacing Sway bar Bushings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all i'm about to go buy some nice poly bushings and i measured my front bar 1 1/16 and the rear was 1 1/8. Do those sizes sound about right for a 3/4ton cst with a bb? I know the front sounds about right but i've no clue on the rear.
Also i was wondering what's the best way of going about this whole thing. The rear doesnt even seem to be tight or anything. Should i get a couple of shorter link bars (name?) for the rear if that is the case? The rear bar has it's D bushings held on by a bolt on each side of the trailing arm (2 bolts per arm) Seems like that's not enuf but then again it also seems liek the whole assembly isnt too tight.

Thanks all for the help,
Greg
