I would suggest buying a universal kit over junkyard though. Why do you need a rear sway bar anyway? Did you remove leafs? Axle flip?

i did remove 2 leafs but i get severe lean thru turns and watching it turn the front stays fairly level while the back torques over,in wet or slightly slick times its scary,the truck is a long bed with 2-4 drop and uses 275/60/15 bf's, here in montana the roads go from long staight  to steep winding with 100 plus winds,just want a more stable feel
