Rear Sway Bar + Chevy 63's
A question for you suspension experts...
I'm running Chevy 63's in an otherwise stock rear axle setup. I'm interested in adding a rear sway bar to help the road manners. Looks like Addco is a straightforward approach, as per 4x4Wire:

Do you see any issues with using this sway bar along with the Chevy springs? Do you think the added travel will destroy the sway bar?
I do have extended bump stops to keep the tire from stuffing way into the wheel well. I will also probably make some link disconnects so the sway bar doesn't limit flex offroad.

For the amount of effort you spent getting chevy 63s and adding a sway bar, probably could've just bought springs that are actually made for the truck.

Thanks for the constructive comments!
Chevy 63's were done about 5 years ago. The provide an awesome ride on and off-road. But a bit less sway would be nice when negotiating Atlanta commuter traffic. With a disconnect system I should be able to get the best of both worlds.

You can try a sway bar, might help a little.

Imo, its a lot of low hanging parts that are going to get damaged off road. But if road manners are the goal, seems to be pretty straight forward.
What about swapping out for a slightly thicker/stiffer set?

Well I picked up an Addco 382 rear sway bar and installed this weekend. It took some slight modifications like making longer endlinks and repositioning a brake line bracket. Overall the ride is MUCH improved, I'm really kind of amazed.
Also made a disconnect link so I can still take poser flex shots when I want to.
Pics to come soon.
