Re: Installed a Craigslist rear sway bar

This bar is meant to go above the axle on a non lowered truck so the bars are parallel to the ground but as you can see works mounted under as well. I got to say it helps traction on a hairpin corner so that the rear doesn't wash out so easily. But it does act snappy around corners on bumps partly due to the fact that I think the bar is to big especially for the rear. At 1 1/8ths its a little bigger than the front one ton factory bar. The thing about a swaybar is that any upset on a bump on one side of the vehicle will be transferred to the other side obviously bigger bars will increase this sensitivity. But so far positives have outweighed any negatives. I really like it the truck takes corners like a car now nice and straight and the rear feels planted and not so spongy.
