Great to hear!

Do the sway bars effect traction? Will it hurt, help or be about the same. I am all for better handling but my traction situation is bad enough I would hate to do this mod and be worse off than I am now.

honestly if feels like my truck hooks up a little better now, especially when pulling from a stop to a turn... feels like it killed some of the wheel hop

I don't think the rear sway bar would help traction I would recommend you to get Caltracs for that issue.

cal tracs might be my next buy for the chassis... I'd like to do that and the 3/4 at the same time.

i'm going to give AddCo a call on this, but...

does anyone know the difference between the 2wd and 4wd sway bar is? is it just that the 4wd has longer end links since 4wds sit higher?

i have a 4wd, but i'm lowered some, so i assume i'd need to just get the 2wd one so it has shorter end links.

With my Hotchkis sways, the kit was the same for both 4wd and 2wd. But the lowered kit is the same in the front, but has shorter end links in the rear.

I forgot to say that I had lost a nut for my rear driver side end link that I didn't know about until the day after I got sideways. I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it because I have turned harder than that at similar speeds in similar conditions with out loosing traction.
