I know this subject is kinda asked a bunch, however there's really not a straight answer. I am shopping for better front and rear sway bars. I am keeping my Z55 suspension stock, and it's all going to be brand new next week. While I have the suspension apart, I want to replace the sway bars. I don't want to spend $600 on them, and I don't want to go eibach because the bars are the same size as stock so I don't see the point in that. I'm leaning towards DJM bars, but they don't come with end links. If you have a better sway bar, shouldn't the end links be upgraded? I'm also considering the PPV sway bars. Any opinions welcome .

Why not the PPV bars? They are really stiff, and work great. They would be cheap from the bone yard.

I have has great luck with Hellwig bars in the past. However on my Denali, I went with Hotchkis Front and Rear Swaybars. Around $550 but was completely worth it in my opinion. No regrets whatsoever.

I ended up getting eibach bars after all, I found they do make a 1.5" front bar and the 1.25" rear bar. Going to install them today, as well as replace every suspension compoment it has. I think I'll start a thread in the under construction thread and post pics of the operation. I can't wait to see how the new sway bars work on this beast.
