Sway bar ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 08-08-2002, 10:59 AM

I just put a 1 1/16 sway bar from a 3/4 ton on the front of my truck and man what a differance in handling, she's a whole new truck, I never knew what I was missing.

? now that I have this miracle bar in the front should I put one on the rear also or would it be too much.

Thanks in advance for your input

I remember seeing someone on the board that used a 3rd gen F body (camaro/firebird) rear sway bar with just a little modding.

I plan to use the rear bar off my old IROC on the rear of my 68

The way I understand it, just make sure the front is beefier than the rear.

No they will work with each other to help cut down the body roll.

Most newer sports cars have them on the front and back from the factory.
