Hello Everyone-
Any recommendations on front and rear sway bars?
I have a 70 c-10 on air. Front ride tech a-arms. No drop member.
I heard of ece's sway bar and porterbuilts.
Ideas & thoughts please.
Thanks in advance

I have an old porterbuild one that you can have. You just have to come and get it.

I put early classic up front and bought a camaro rear bar. Took the rear bar off since I installed the rear 'No limit' shock relocator kit. Don't need it anymore for a street truck.

You can check with our Forum Vendors in the Suspension marketplace for a new bar. If you want used they are easy to come by for the front. You can check the yards for a 67-72 or 73-87 front bar. They were really common on 73-91 Burbs too. if you find a C20 that has a bar grab that. its going to be a 1 1/8" and can be adapted to your truck.

If you have the Air Ride control arms why not use their roll bar? .?.

I recommend the Addco bar sold thru Porterbuilt.

Thanks for the feedback I actually got the muscle bar. Not installed. Once installed I will give feedback

I have one on my blazer and just put a new one on my '61 Bel Air.
They are very pricey.
Most don't want to spend that much.
Please post up some more pics of your sweet truck.

dbb1025 · 12-26-2013, 04:24 PM

It is pricey. Do you like it on your trucks?
Thank you for the compliment! Here is a couple of pics. I have to take more.

Brothers and CPP often have the Addco rear sway bar on sale for $89.

Man that is a nice looking truck!

dbb1025 · 12-26-2013, 05:00 PM

It is compared to Addco's $225 price (approximately)
You definitely need to switch to an end link style sway bar with your Ridetech a-arms.
(AND OTHERS LIKE PORTERBUILT A-ARMS)
The stock oem sway bars will work with oem a-arms,... but most members have to shorten the end of the bar to eliminate rubbing on the air bag.
