Check out Speedway Engineering, they have virtually endless combinations of setups as you can buy the individual components to suite your needs. I'm sure if you calculated all of your dimensions and give them a rough estimate on vehicle weight, motion ratio of your front suspension and current spring rate, they could match up a bar rate for your intended application.

PB does offer sway bars. When I originally purchased this set-up, Addco was supplying the bars for him based off of his specs but there were continuous issues w/delays. His intent then was to try & start building them in-house so they have better control (I believe that's what he's now doing). The #5 bar on my list above is one of those Addco/PB bars & it definitely won't work as the end-link position is wider than all the others I tried/measured.
That being said, a fresh in-house bar built to length would solve my initial 'fit' concerns but still leaves the 'it's the lowest item on the chassis' concern. That's where a modular splined-bar would work better as I can position it on top/inside of the lower rail 'lip' raising it's centerline out of harms way.
I just browsed Speedways site again during my lunch & took additional notes but they don't list enough info on individual items to determine if their 'G-Comp Standard length bar @34" width' will interchange w/the A-body kits bar. They also now list an F-body 'kit' but no pics & not even similar info like the A-body kit.
I scratch my head & wonder how their web site content is modeled/approved.
