You may not need the additonal kit. The kit is only 2 1in blocks, spacers, that move the sway bar out of the way of your trans cooling lines. When I installed the front bar I did not have to use the kit. There was approx 1/2 to 3/4 in clearance.

I have Hotchkis front and rear sway bars on mine. Blisten shocks front and rear with air bags in the back as well. All in the name of towing. The sway bars keep the truck a little flatter in turns.

Anyone try to put one off a Tahoe on their truck? I haven't looked to see if it's possible but when looking at the fact that the one on the front of my truck is new from the dealership for $90 it's hard to spend $180 for an aftermarket front one.

worth a shot, the front is very similar on the new GMT900s

spindles/struts for one...give it a try !!! i was thinking of getting one from a street suspension z60 LTZ trim truck for the front. probably like 100-115$

are you asking about a rear sway bar on a tahoe?
if so, that's not a bad idea.
i wonder if the rear sway bar for the police package is any different from a regular tahoe.
