Hotchkis rear sway bar ?
 
Wondering who's got it?
Like it; Love it; don't need it?
How was the install?

most people just go with the front sway bars but anything from hotchkis is good and worth it

I got fronts and rears.

Love em

And not bad at all. Fronts were a 45 minute job and the rear was about 2 hours. Not hard at all.

F & R on mine...

LOVE IT... search my name, I did a brief writeup with pictures.

As Agreif said, Front easy, Rear takes more time because it's always better to measure twice and drill once. No need to move gas tank, you can slip the mounting bracket through a frame hole.

Even in normal speed corners a nice difference can be felt. No severe body roll.

I hear ya man. But I could not believe how much heavier the Hotch bar is versus the stocker. BIG time weight difference!!!!!!!

Sweet!
So the ride's not too harsh then?
Did you guys leave the truck at stock height or drop it?
