Best Sway Bars

[tx tahoe z71]

Your Bilsteins may have helped dampen any negtives the sway bar could have caused.
Honestly, if I had to choose to put a sway bar on any year Tahoe, I would choose the rear only, as the front bar, esp. on the 07-Up models, is huge, can't get much bigger!
Plus the rear is where most body roll comes from any way.....

Very true about the Bilsteins helping the ride quality. I had the swaybars on first, and there was a huge improvement once I added the Bilsteins as well.

Soo is bigger better? I've been lookin for a set for the rear and am only seeing .83" to 1.25" diameter which doesn't sound like too much of a difference in range but the body roll is killing me I just don't wanna have too harsh of a ride

MASS, check out the Eibach kit.

.83" to 1.25" is a huge difference! Just like a 20" pizza is more than twice as big as 10" one.
Typically larger antisway bars do little to hurt the ride quality.

True, you are looking at more than a 50% increase in circumference when going from .83 to 1.25. You are going to feel the difference.

Why would you only upgrade the rear?

 

[Modded]

Because the rear has the most sway, and the front bar is almost as thick and heavy as it could possible be, go look at it and you will see. I know because I removed it once to upgrade the bushes and it was real heavy!!!
Personally I think upgrading the front bar is a waster of money on these 07-2010 trucks, if I do upgrade mine, it will be the rear only!

There was a guy on TYF from Peddlers who said the same thing, but I cant verify it because I can't remember his darn user name. He was the one who posted up about the Dodge Energy Challenger he helped build a suspension kit for.

^ yeah I have not modified a truck/SUV suspension for better handling on the street. As for sports coupes, when I only changed the rear sway bar it did not handle well (wanted to try it before I put the front on). With the rear only upgraded, it over rotated to easily on aggressive corners. I guess that would be good for drifting...
