This is exactly what kept me awake last night. Wasn't thoroughly impressed with the height of the CPP rear bar after I was done. It also took WAY longer to install than I assumed it would. Not the best kit I think. I'll drive it today and see what I think. But, I'm thinking the Hellwig bar may have been a better choice.

I have the No limit rear sway bar, it mounts above the frame rails

Anybody have any pics of how these above-mentioned sway bars install? The one cat mentioned how low to the ground it was. That would be the only thing to concern me.
In general- a sway bar on both ends is a big yes. There's a reason almost every vehicle produced after 90s, or even most from 80s, comes from the factory with front and rear sway bars. Less floppy body roll is safer in everyday, "oh crap" type maneuvers.
A stiffer rear sway bar will increase oversteer tendancy. So rwd vehicles generally need a stiffer bar in front and a little thinner, weaker in rear. While a fwd can be happier with real stiff rear sway bar.
I'm just getting going on my truck and not sure what bars to source for it.
