Default Rear Sway Bar??????

I just bought a 2007 Silverado Classic and I can`t find a rear sway bar. Hotchkis says they have one, but I gotta buy the front one as well. By the way on the Hotchkis web site it dosen`t state that they have one for the 2007s but they claim they do over the phone. Now the Hotchkis comes with a 1 and 7/16 inch frot hollow sway bar. I measured my solid stock sway bar and it is exactly 1 and 7/16. When I told them this they said that I should contact the Tech. department, but she was out untill the first of the year. Well I haven`t called yet, but I want to know who sells a rear swaybar for a 2007 Silverad Classic, extended cab, 6.6 foot bed, with stock ride height. I called a number for Belltech as well, but I`m not sure I had a direct line to Belltech because when I called the number it asked what porduct I was intrested in. It said press 1,2,3,4 or 5 for Belltech and the others for other products. I know the 2007s are new but dose anyoe have any info.
Thanks Al

what is different about the 07 suspensions? I would assume since it's a classic that the suspension is the same in the rear for all 99-07 trucks. I don't know why it would matter, because to my knowledge all 99-07 trucks used a 10 bolt, leaf spring/hanger/shackle setup

Yea its a ten bolt, but durring my SEARCH I found out that Hotchkis was not making a rear swaybar for the 2007 Quad cabs due to the location of the fule tank. I don`t have a quad cab but I was just trying to do a little reasearch. I`m not sure if it was for the new bodystyle or the Classic. I`ll check back in the afternoon on your reply as well as others befor I head out to work.
Thanks Al

yea I'm almost possitive the 07 classics have the same suspension. It wouldn't make sense to change the suspension the last year of that production model

You can have the stock one off my Avalanche if you want it (and if it fits), just pay for shipping.

I know Hellwig and Hotchkis make sway bars that people have been happy with. I have an aftermarket front and rear. My rear bar is adjustable which is great and I have never seen one like it. From what I understand you should buy both the front and the rear to have a matching set. Matching as in diameter, strength, etc.
