Sway bar upgrade?

I have the opportunity to buy a new rear sway bar from a Saleen XP8 for my 99 Sport 4WD (255/70/16 wheel package). Will this improve anything handling wise with my specific truck? Will it even fit?
Thanks!

It will fit and greatly reduce understeer and bodyroll and improve handling, steering and cornering. I just installed Explorer Express front and rear bars on my 95 and the vehicle has been transformed. I already had Edelbrock shocks. My wife even likes to drive it now, no more highway wander. I find myself speeding around corners and through traffic like a car. You do not need to change the front bar on your 99 as it is already solid, whereas the 95 and earlier had hollow front bars. Get it, you will love it.
