Default swaybar q

im finding different part numbers for rear swaybars for 2wd or 4wd, my truck is a 4x4 but its lowered, lift block removed and shackle with hanger on the way. Is the only difference in the sets the end links being longer for the 4wd? because if so I would probably want the 2wd, but im not sure. btw im looking at the addco kits on ebay it shows part number 2121 for 4wd and 631 for 2wd. how is addco brand I was looking at hellwig too the bar is only an 1/8th inch larger diameter, but its like 100 bucks more though...

I have an addco swaybar. I'm 2wd. It came with 2 different sets of end links (bolts and sleeves) to be used with:
1) stock height or 2" drop
2) 4" drop.

The bar is a good price but honestly, I wish the end links attached the same as they do on the Tahoes. It looks cleaner to me.

ok well thats good to hear, are you talking about how the sway bar faces rearward instead of forward?

Well I like the forward facing ones better too. But if you look at the type of linkage used on the tahoes for their stock swaybar then look at what addco uses, its difference. I doubt one works better though.
