Difference in sway bar size vs handling

How much difference would there be in handling between a 1 1/4" or 1 1/8" front bars paired with 1 1/8" or 7/8" rear bars? I'm not looking at competing in autocross. Just good, safe handling. I will have a 2 1/2"/4" drop.

Thanks!
Mark

Re: Difference in sway bar size vs handling

On a street truck with street tires and highway speeds, unless you're running some real twisty roads, I'd say you'd be hard pressed to really tell the difference of 1/8" between the 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" bars.

There may be some difference between a 7/8" and 1 1/8" bar on the rear but again, a lot of other variables might make even more difference.

If you're running say 40 series tires on 18" wheels (for example) it would probably have more impact on the setup as if you are running 60 series or 75 series tires.
