I have an Addco rear sway bar on my 2wd and it was a night and day difference. It came with two different end links to adjust to taste. Install was straight forward and I did it in about an hour with a buddy helping me.

As far as ride quality, swaybars shouldnt effect ride quality much at all..

Well pick up your latest issue of Chevy High Performance. They added some Hodskis (SP??) swaybars front and rear to a silverado SS (AWD). The bars alone raised handling by .05g's (i think will check when I get home from work) and shaved several feet off the 70 to 0 stopping distance.

Does anybody know if there's any clearance issues with a rear sway bar and T/A rear diff cover?

(please excuse the thread hijack...I figured the question seemed relevent)

I have Addco F & R bars on my body lifted AV. They helped the handeling quite a bit and there is very little if any difference in the ride.
