Default swaybar question

im looking at buying a rear sway bar for my truck, i know hotchkis has a deal with the front and rear sway bar but it seems a little pricey. i can get a rear belltech sway bar for cheap, just wondering if its worth upgrading the front sway bar cuz the one on my truck already seems pretty beefy

You could put polyurethane bushings on the front swaybar and stiffen it up.

I have heard Hellwig makes a good bar, and you can buy the rear separately too. But I think if you are going to go with f&r, go with Hotchkis. But the rear with front bushings seem like that would be almost as effective and save some $$.

I have read from some people that just putting the hotchkis front bar on made a difference. Of course once the rear bar was installed in addition to the front, it was like night and day. I have a set waiting to be installed, probably be a little while though.

I have heard good things about the hellwig bar too though.

I got teh hotchkis kit one day and only had the time to put on the front that night...wow, huge difference. Put on the rear and it was like I was riding in a different vehicle. It was worth every penny.
