Default Sway bar differences? I need one!

I've got a truck I purchased with air ride. The sway bar was removed somewhere along its life for the sweet side to side action I can only asusme.

I'm looking for an OEM sway bar because I'm not wanting to spend big bucks on a upgraded bar just to have it not fit with the air ride. My lower control arms are factory 2wd. My question is will any 99-07 classic sway bar work? 2wd/4wd/SUV? All the parts trucks I find in my area are 4wd, just want to see if one of those will work before I buy one.

If you have a coil spring front end with 2WD, then no.

The 2WD, 4WD, and AWD with Torsion bar front suspension use a different sway bar than the 2WD coil spring truck.

An aftermarket sway bar isn't all that expensive. Under $200 for a Belltech.

I know but will all the air ride going on I was justing to try a factory one to see what kind of clearance I have around everything. I found one for $25 so if it doesn't fit I'm not out $200. Now if I can get it to fit with little effort I'll look into a better aftermarket one.

But over the weekend I lost 2nd, 4th, and reverse so now its parked and doesn't matter.
