Here is a old thread that I did my install a few years ago. I have since taken the bar off only because when I installed the shock relocator kit it was in the way.

On my Longhorn, I have leaf springs with overloads. I'm going to haul a 10' slide in camper. It also has air shocks on the rear. Would a sway bar improve the handling with the camper on?

Yes it would.

I used the same bar as above for leaf spring rear from addco. The truck is used for my roofing business. Its like driving a lowered truck now handles great thru the corners loaded or empty

If I spent the money on those arms I would do the Camaro bar and not have to drill are weld on those arms.
The camaro bar connects to the rear axle and frame nothing would touch the arms.

it's all about mounting to the axle itself
if that means mounting towards the rear, between frame rails, or above rails..... it's all good as long as part of it is attached to the axle.

Mine however, is attached to the trailing arms. I'll probably change that when it comes up on the "to-do" list.

No doubt! I've got a plan that will put the end links right next to the axles, which is good enough for me

I have a Camaro Hotchkis bar mounted to the trailing arms. Seems to work very nice for me. I think mounting it to the arms keep sit from being too much.

I have the ECE front sway bar installed (awesome). I have the CPP rear sway bar but have not installed it yet. Will report any differences in the driving experience.
