Sway bars on 3/4 ton ???

Anyone have suggestions on which sway bar would work well with '69 3/4 ton with leaf spring rear end? Anyone had any issues installing them on leave sprung trucks? Looking for front and rear. Rides a little too loose for my liking right now.

I would go with a 1 1/4" bar up front and a rear bar pulled from a 1 ton dually. These are from square body trucks.

The yards are full of 3/4 ton trucks with factory sway bars. Hardest part will be getting the brackets off, as they are riveted to the frame
