Front sway bar on a 4wd

I went looking for a set of corp 10 bolt spring plates for my swap, when I did I noticed that they have a sway bar attached to them, has anyone done this upgrade? Is it worth it? Does the cross member for the sway bar bolt up directly?

Re: Front sway bar on a 4wd

Can't answer your question, but as usual I do have an opinion! I am a big fan of swaybars for highway use, especially if you (A) tend to corner enthusiastically, or (B) sometimes carry large heavy loads. But I don't like 'em on 4WD trucks, if they are used off-road. Kills some of the suspension flex that you need over uneven terrain. Off-road guys will often use quick-disconnect end links so they can undo 'em for trails, and hook 'em back up for the road.

Put a sway bar in my 71 Blazer.
Here's the link to it in the FAQ section.
