Was wondering if I can put a rear sway bar on my truck, not sure how it would install, and where to put it, anyone have a rear sway bar setup on their truck?

They go on the trailing arms in front of the axle, at least the after market ones do.

WARNING If it says 60-66 they will not work on your truck. The frame of the 60-62 is much wider than 63 and up. I ordered one from CPP and it was at least 6 inches to short in width. If you find one that says 60-62 with for coil springs I wold call to make sure first. And if you find one that works let me know because I have been looking all over for one.
