Brad Man 72 you did put that swaybars REDUCE traction which I would assume is a typo. Its OK we all do it.

Anyway................Any swaybar you intall properly is going to help. Each claim to be better but they all do the same thing on a street driven truck. If you were building a track truck with custom built frame and tubeular control arms set up for track use only than style of swaybar would be a issue. All the above suggestions are correct but I would say for your use find the one that you can afford and put it on. You wont tell a difference from a CPP or high dollar aftermarket.

Is your truck the same one built by Marquez, or are my eyes playing tricks on me??

fwiw, I have a CPP bar on my truck with the CPP mounts for lowered trucks. It fit okay, had to really hold my mouth right to get everything to line up. There may be better bars out there, but the CPP one is relatively inexpensive compared to he RideTech Musclebar.
