Putting Sway bars on my 66.

TJ, why do you think you need a rear sway bar? Most things I have read seem to think they aren't necessary. I've even heard that they can stiffen your ride and work against you when cornering. Tell me what you have heard.

You might run into clearance issues with the driveshaft, exhaust and possibly shocks if you mounted it on top of the trailing arms.

The purpose of a sway bar takes the twisting and diving force away. So I would assume it will help take away that weird swaying feeling you get from the rear of the truck driving in a slightly bumpy straight line down the road. I really don't know...all I have heard is they make road driving and cornering 100% better....and since I am a experimenter and a "Do things for yourselfer" or whatever (lol) I'm gonna try it an see. I have some tight turns in my area so I can test these out really good and say if I felt a difference. Front sway bars help ALOT with cornering...as for the back...I'm not sure yet. lol We'll find out when I get this truck done!

TJ,
I installed them on my truck and it made a huge difference. Took a lot of the body roll out of my truck. I am glad I read other post and did my power disc brakes first, because I was going through the curves as fast as I could.
