One from a S10 blazer might work. The width lines up with the frame rails.

Something like this maybe... https://www.classicindustries.com/product/1978/chevrolet/truck/parts/rsb471.html.
Think maybe factory bar for c20 or c30 that were the camper special models, maybe suburban would work too.

I put a factory one on a K20 about a year or so ago. Frankly, it was a pain in the ass. It certainly helps, but needed new u bolts, plates, took some grinding, and the axle tubes are a different size than the 10 bolt. Probably best to go with the after market.

If you want a Hellwig bar you shouldn't wait too much longer, they are out of production and no longer listed on their site. There are still a few around and the cheapest price I've found is $213 w/free shipping. Check Ebay or Jegs for Hellwig 7535.

For me...over $100 for a rear sway bar kit is over price..it a simple technique to fit one...and so cheap to find in the junckyard....but its just my opinion! ;)

Depends on your access to a decent junkyard. Closest one to me is a 45 minute drive and it’s 90% imports. Last time I was there they only had two well-stripped squares. Space at junkyards is like space at the grocery stores, they get filled with what sells and squarebody parts won’t keep them in business.

I've been wanting to get the Hellwig model for lowered trucks, although the only difference may be shorter end links. I do like the tension adjustability though.

That Addco bar sure looks different. No bend to clear the center section of the axle. I wonder how it mounts.??? Just noticed Summit and Jeg's show a different picture.

Edit 10/11/2019: Turns out the Summit and Jeg's pictures are correct. Addco sent me this picture.
