Splined Swaybar Question
Has anyone messed around with splined swaybars ?? I've been doing some reading but I can't really find a definitive source that makes a comparison between splined bars (similar to Nascar style) and mass produced pre-bent bars..
I'll be honest, she rolls over on her side like a wet noodle with the stock bar.. I crawled under the truck today to look at the rear, egads theres a lot going on there with the 4 link, coil overs, gas tank, spare tire etc.
The front end of my Silverado is exactly 32" from outside mount to outside mount of the existing swaybar. I'm thinking I'd need a 34" bar plus the arms and links to connect to the lower A-arms...
I'm curious if anyone has any input on what diameter bar I should go with?? Are splined bars any stiffer than a pre-bent bar ? I know Hellwig offers a good sized bar for my truck, and a few others offer smaller bars..
My truck currently has a bar that's 1 1/8th thick now, can a person 'over bar' a truck ? I see splined bars running upto 2" in diameter.. I think that may be a bit overkill but I don't know...
I'm all ears if anyone has suggestions throw 'em at me !
