Did you grab one to try anyway? I'm betting the rear facing bar would work well too. Plus they work well with 90's Jeep front sway bar links (the offset ones) to make up for differences in frame width.

@Magna86
I got my front one, at a wrecking yard off a C20 or a 3/4 ton or something like that. It bolted right in. It was to long ago so I have no idea what they are going for these days, but cheaper than a after market one that's for sure.

@Bennyt,
Benny, they wanted it powder coated with new bolts and poly bushings, for $10. Then they would have been lined up down the street. Or better...free!

You're not too far off; on some of the parts I've sold lately, I've gotten some pretty lowball offers. They show up in a new $65k truck, buying parts for a $50k build and then offer me $5 when I'm only asking $10 for a hundred dollar part.

That's what I said. The Camper Specials all had them. Big Blue (<<<) has one. It really doesn't need it though, with a Dana 70 and duals it's sticks.

No I didn't. The 4 door bar would probably work as the 2 door but need to find different endlink as the ends are straight to bolt thru unlike the 2 door which are flat.

That's where the 90's Jeep front links come in handy. They have the same style ends as the 4-door bar, but with standard type bushings at the frame end.

The problem is with a Surburban has the spring "u" bolt nuts on the bottom, they're flipped over from like my year C10. They have an ear off the side of the bottom mounting plate for the sway bar attachment. Also the bar of the burb is only like 3/4" or so. I don't see how that controls the sway on such a heavy vehicle. In my mind I want at least a 1" back there. When I get my rear sway bar, I've already got it picked out it's 1". My front bar is a 1 1/16". I want my truck flat in turns and I've got the perfect place to test it out. There's an exit on interstate that is a double back turn of 370 degree turn. In other words it turns off interstate, goes uphill then turns back again, it's real messed up of a turn where you don't turn the steering wheel once and you make the circle. Noooo, mid way through the turn it turns back again even sharper then once on the overpass above it then it straightens out.
When my truck was newly rebuilt with all fresh poly in the suspension I made that turn at 60 mph. The tires were squalling their brains out. I felt I could go faster but the truck was twisted in half as it was, and I felt I was about to come off the road so I backed off. I want to take that turn at 70 or as fast as it will go maybe 75! It'll be like being in a sling shot when I get on the overpass above.
