sway bar question
Do sway bars really work?
I'm saying this because I just bought one w/ hardware from a friend of mines and I'm wondering if it will work or not. Monday, I'm going to order a pair of early classics lowered sway bar brackets because my 72 didn't come w/ a sway bar, so I'm asking if it will work or not.

I just did that same thing to my Jimmy. No sway bar before, mounted it with the early classics lowered brackets. MUCH better!!

I put the 1 1/4" on my '70 (none before) and yes I could tell the difference.

What size swaybar did you install? There is a FAQ about adding a swaybar and it is very informarmative. He also bring up the point of larger swaybars and where to get them. Think about adding a rear swaybar and you should feel almost as much improvement as you did with the front front swaybar.
