Not a good idea if you still plan on going off road.

I Bought this sway bar for my 08 silverado because i thought it would help when pulling big trailers but it did nothing. and when i put my custom dual exhaust on my truck i had to take it off because it was in my way. now it is sitting in my garage and i cant find anyone to buy it grrrrrrrr

It did nothing for towing? Will it still work if you life your truck?

Swap bars really only help while cornering. It takes the pressure from the wheel being compressed on the outside of the turn and directs the pressure through the bar to the oposite tire that is drooping down and puts more pressure on it to maintain grip. Unless you were doing a lot of fast sweepers with your trailer you weren't going to get much of a benefit because it sets neutral while driving in a straight line.

yea it did nothing i was pulling a loaded 7x14' enclosed trailer at about 80mph and noticed no difference with sway bar. my opinion it was a waste of $300

I really want this sway bar for corning. There is a lot of body roll in these truck so this should help

Since sway bars remove some body roll, I would imagine it would reduce the articulation your vehicle has off road.
Look out for those big boulders and ravines. :lol:

I'm just messin' with ya.

My 2006 Sierra 1500 2WD Crew Cab, with the coil springs in front, has the 1 7/16" front sway bar, and it really handles well. I just installed the poly end links, and the poly mounts should arrive soon. The end links didn't do much, but the mounts should help a litle bit. This truck handles much better than my 2008 Sierra 1500 2WD Crew Cab!
I was considering the rear bar as well, but I would like to hear some positive feedback first.
