Wink Re: Any Pictures of how rear swaybar mounted?

Well it depends on which one you buy as to how it mounts. The aftermarket ones mainly mount to the frame and arms.
The camaro ones mount to the frame and rear axle as I did mine.
This is mine it's the camaro bar.


Bought it out of the junkyard.




Painted it:



Spacers I made for the frame:




Kit for Installing it:





Here is the thread on my install.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I think I have a rear bar off of a 90's tahoe sitting around somewhere, wonder if that will fit this way.

1982+. the biggest bar for these cars was 1" dia. to get the big bar you will have to look at an 80's car. consumers @$#%&'ed about the harsh ride so even selecting the hot suspension option still got a smaller rear bar in the 90's.


i bought the sway bars from CPP, but i don't like the setup for rear bar for the trailing arm setup. i was thinking of adapting the CPP rear bar for a leaf spring truck. as long as it clears the 3/4 ton Corp/Eaton diff and track bar mount, it should give better ground clearance. and unlike with the camaro bar, the ends will line up with the truck frame (no spacers needed). also, the CPP rear bar is 1-1/8" dia which i think is a good idea on a suburban.

Talking Re: Any Pictures of how rear swaybar mounted?

I can't say 100% if it will work but I see no reason it shouldn't though.
