Have heard some people say leaf spring cars don't benefit much from a rear sway bar. Just doing all the fitting now, would rather add it now than later if I'm going to. Thanks for weighing in.

That's a great project, it's going to be a rocket.
You will absolutely benefit from a rear sway bar. We had a recent track test with a stock 70 Dodge Challenger with leaf springs, and the difference after the addition of the rear sway bar was actually visible, as in you could see the rear of the car moving less after the bar install.
Since you are using our springs in the rear, the combination with the
Hotchkis rear sway bar will be a perfect fit.
What are you running in the front?
