How sturdy is that setup?

Thats the way the factory hooked them up on a Camero. So I guess its sturdy enough, works fine on my truck.

I can't see were it would be less sturdy than the stock front.There are a lot of cars and trucks that run swaybars with end links.

I wanted to thank you guys for the pics and info. Looks like a stout setup with the camaro swaybar. thanks again.

www.classicperform.com has instructions for installing a rear bar on a coil spring truck and you can print it if you need a paper copy.

Wouldn't the Camaro bar be a little tight on a truck with a 6" drop? ECE said with a 6" drop I would have 3" between the frame and the axle tube. If I were to use a Camaro bar would I have to run a C notch for extra clearance? The CPP bar that goes on the bottom of the trailing arms looks like it would eliminate this issue.

I have been told that the ece style bar doesn't work very well.No personal experence.There was a pic of a lowered truck with the camaro bar a while back.
