Default installed a suburban sway bar on a silverado today

So I put a rear sway bar from a 01 suburban on my 04 1/2ton ecsb 4wd. It is amazing how much better it handles around corners. The sway bar fit very nice the only thing I had to do was buy 2 3" exhaust clamps ($5.00) 2-2x8x1/8 strips of metal ($8.00) 2 12mm bolts from home depot ($3.50) and the sway bar from the junk yard was only 25 bucks. Heres some pix so you can see how it looks. Again this made a huge differance going around corners, getting on and off the interstate... Would recommend to anyone wanting a better handling truck. O and the pic with the bracket in the vice is because to get the holes to line up with the clamps you had to open it up alittle.

I am about to do this same swap. I like the exhaust clamp idea. I had first intended on just getting some large spring saddles.
