Default I Put a Rear SwayBar on The CrewCab!!!

I Got a Rear swaybar from an Avalanche, with two home-made Brackets it fits right under the Big *** crewcab. Now, with that and the bilsteins it's like driving a 2 1/2 ton corvette. I say to anyone who doesn't have one, Do it. what a huge difference in handleing. I think new they are $125-$150 or find a wreck with one, frame rails seem to be similar. Just Friggin Wow!!!!! I'm gonna go drive it again, see ya!!!

That's good to hear. I know someone who has done it to their silverado and was a pretty easy install. He got his sway bar from a 'burban and rides like a charm!

It's just a regular 2500. Not an HD. Though the frames would be the same. (I Think)

hmm...I know the suspension and ride height is definitely different....I would love to take some sway out of my ride. Anyone know for sure if the frames are the same? Also, did you make your own brackets? If so, is there any way I could steal some dimensions or a diagram to save myself the trouble of having to take measurements myself...?? Thanks!
