Assume you meant a "rear" anti-roll bar.
Can anyone confirm this for info?
I've read only later years got a rear anti-roll bar when the trailer tow package option was ordered.
The trailer tow package does not include the trailer hitch which was standard issue.

Yeah, we've been through this before, and we disagree. It makes the spring stiffer when leaned on, which to me, accomplishes almost the same thing.
You can disagree, but I don't think it's worthy of ridicule.

The rear anti-sway bar (aka anti-roll bar) and the RAS do two completely different things.

I changed rear springs on ours and it rides a bit higher, is stiffer when leaned on and has less drop when the trailer is hooked up.
The Hellwig rear anti-roll bar had no effect on ride height, but made an enormous difference in handling now that the rear end rolls a lot less in turns and crosswinds.
The upgrades do different things and combined make for much better control of the vehicle.
