Swaybars....

So I'm tryin to figure out which to go with on my 68 LongBed, not bagged in the usual sense. Only got bags inside the coils.
Thinking either Hotchkis or should I do NASCAR style splined?
I realize the hotchkis is pretty much a bolt on vs. more fab work.
Whatcha all think?

Re: Swaybars....

I doubt you'll notice any benefit of the splined bars. But go big. Hotchkis or sway-away, even helwig is a good choice.

Re: Swaybars....

We offer a 1.25" OD bar with end links. Its not a fancy splined set-up but does the job well. It runs $250 and comes with all hardware and is powdercoated black.

Nate, do you make a larger OD bar or is that the bigger of the 2 your offer? I know it's somewhere here, but couldn't find it... Not really sure if they even need to be much larger than that?!
