Only way to know is put the a-arm mounts in place. Put the frame rail bushings/mounts on the bar approximately where they would pivot when installed. Loosely attach the frame stands to the frame pivot bushings & jack the bar up into place until the frame stands make contact.
Check clearances so you're not 'guessing'. If anything makes contact before the frame stands contact the rail/s, you have your answer.
Buying an aftermarket set-up may be the easy button or it could lead to additional frustration if the bars 'arms' are not long enough. I know from experience searching various sway bar criteria, not all manufacturers offer the dimensions to help make an informed decision. They usually will just offer that "it's intended to work on 6X-8X year model" truck.
