Re: just a quick question.

Use the existing swaybar and replace the rubber bushings...there is not much you can do to them. Some like to use the larger 1 1/8" bars from later model or larger trucks but the stock bar is fine.

Re: just a quick question.

Moog sells real nice urethane bushings that you can buy anywhere Moog products are sold. Around here, that's O Reilly Auto Parts. There is a swaybar article in the FAQ section that gives pictures and details.
