Default Rear swaybar

Hello,
I've got a 2008 Silverado looking for a rear sway bar kit, whats some good brands/ kits, and will a rear sway bar work with traction bars?

I installed this kit in my 02 Yukon. After a full suspension rebuild and these sway bars I can kick the back end out. I also surprise smaller vehicles in the twisties.

Amazon.com: Eibach 3882.320 Anti-Roll-Kit Front and Rear Performance Sway Bar Kit: Automotive Amazon.com: Eibach 3882.320 Anti-Roll-Kit Front and Rear Performance Sway Bar Kit: Automotive



One thing to note is that the entire suspension firmed up so bumps are a bit harsher.

I love kicking the rear end out, but it kicks out a little too much right now. That's why I want a sway bar I'm hoping for a little more rear stability and to not kick out as much???
Like the other night I was coming down the on-ramp merging on the interstate I was already doing 80mph on the on-ramp and when I merged over the rear end decided it wanted to kick out.

yea as much as I love drifting it, getting it sideways on the interstate @ 80mph was a bit scary
Also I need a complete rear sway kit, my truck doesn't have a rear sway bar factory, only a front sway bar

I just went with the Hellwig for the rear of my sierra.

7800 adjustable model with better endlinks

Summit price matched it to $239, sdtrucksprings.com has it on sale. Summits service is top notch always.

awesome thanks, they look great, think I'm gonna go with that (Hellwig 7800) rear sway bar, upgraded front sway bar and 2" drop shackles to level it

Kinda debating on how I wanna go about leveling it, 2" lift in front or 2" lower in rear, kinda leaning towards 2" lower in rear?
