was it a pretty dramatic difference? i drove a guys tahoe the other day with eibach sways on it. it seemed pretty tight in the curves, but it wasn't my truck so i didn't wanna beat on it too bad.

the solid vs tube is about the strength
say you have a 1" tube .120 wall, its gonna be stronger to step to 1.25" .095 wall then go to 1"x.188 wall, plus there is some weight savings
the truck bars vs suv bars is more for balance than the setup its on, the trucks dont have the rear weight tahoes do so they dont need as thick of a bar, you really dont even need a front bar if you have a rear, the rear bar promotes oversteer
try the smallest front bar you can find with a thick rear one
