I carry a 1,500 lb camper and regularly drive it in the mountains. I am very pleased with the handling. Before the rear bar was installed, the body roll was pretty bad. Now if I mis-judge a corner a little bit too fast, the truck just sets and goes around with no drama. You can get thicker bars, but for evryday unloaded "spirited driving" I think it would be overkill.

It really made a difference in body roll. I had a MII IFS with a front sway bar, but I still had some roll. Now it really stays flat.

The truck is a 52, we've also got a C*m*ro rear end in it and I was thinking of using the sway bar that came with it. Has anyone done this? I put a rear sway bar on my car and it realy helped, i also replaced my stock 1" front sway bar with a 1 7/8" and that made the world of diff in corning.

Is this with the stock suspension setup? I-beam & leaf springs in the front? If so, where'd you get the bars and attaching hardware, etc?
