Re: 4x4 swaybars?
I put a front sway bar on the blazer. Got the spring caps and sway bar from an '82 blazer and had to fab cross piece between the frame rails to attach the sway bar too. There should be some threads by others about this.

Re: 4x4 swaybars?
I hear you can adapt a Camaro rear sway bar to work with our trucks.
Can't find the thread on it though. I'll keep looking.

Re: 4x4 swaybars?
I Got a Helwig front sway bar off e-bay for 40.00 new in the box~! Put it on my 68 burb 4x4 and OH MY GOD what a difference~! My son (15) bolted it on in about 30-40 minutes. I would pay a lot more for what it does. It is unreal how nice the burb tracks my windy road now. Would like to find a rear one also. Helwig does not show my application for rear.

Re: 4x4 swaybars?
I used a rear bar off of an old F@rd 3/4 ton 2wd truck on mine. It's a little to wide though because the bushing and washers rub the leaf springs sometimes.
