I know it’s a bit of a debated topic but Really I don’t see the need for them in most leaf spring front end applications. There’s a few /situations like with a heavy over roof camper or something similar where the sways are helpful. The 67-72 K trucks never had them and I’ve never driven one and said, “damn I really need a sway bar”. With coil springs or IFS they are a pretty important part of highway manners for sure.
Oh they are stiff, I'm surprised the front windshield is still in it , LOL
