Until now I hadn't considered that when I did the caster modification to the lower control arm shafts I moved the mount forward on the bar about 3/4". A 2 for 1 modification more caster and a stiffer sway bar!

That 1 1/4" bar should work good. I have the small one on the Panel Truck and it even made a lot of difference.
