Sway bar for lifted c10

[randomTruckKid]

I need a sway bar for my lifted c10. There wasn't one before because there was no need but now that it's so high It rolls alot.

So I'm looking if anyone knows about what size I need along with any other info. Thx

im also thinking about getting ne rear leaf springs? instead of the blocks. hope that can reduce roll by adding more stiffness, though i have no clue ho to measure hat i need.

Spindle lift? Why won't a factory front bar setup work?

I thought the same thing, then looking at his post harder I think he's looking for a recommendation for a bigger bar. Stacking 2 factory bars comes to mind

There were different thickness bars from factory. Like a thick bar from a C30. These days, with the popularity of C10's there's a bunch of new aftermarket bars too, many of them with fancy end links instead of just bushings.

I eas looking for front and back bars. Something thicker. But I don't know what size to get

Looks cool!
Springs are measured by length. And just order what you want for spring rate.
I bet your front is what’s causing the body roll. There’s a million lifted half tons on stock springs and that’s never an issue.

the front is all new. Def need sway bar.

Went right over your head….unless you removed rear leafs and it now has an abnormally low spring rate, the front end is causing the body roll. Springs shocks sway bar whatever it may be or a combination of things.

Rear has several removed leafs. I do agree front is maybe contributing a little. It has new springs but they are factory c10 rate. But I think it's a combination of lack of sway bar and really light rear springs... maybe a little front.


Also sorry if things go over my head. I have a small brain that dosnt work often

Don't put yourself down. You've done way better on this project than I ever would have anticipated.

I'm thinking a front bar will do wonders, even if it's just a stock C10 bar. You've increased the center of gravity by a large amount and that will have a big effect on the handling with a stock or near stock spring rate.

One reason I suggested an aftermarket front bar though is because you can upgrade to end links, rather than using the stock end bushings that are always binding.
