Rear Swaybar with 5/7 drop

[Low97tahoE]

I have a 2dr 2wd tahoe with a 5/7 drop using a flip kit in the rear....is it true that i can get a swaybar off of a surburban and make minor modifications for it too fit...i know it will make for less body roll and better cornering, but what are some other benefits? are there any benefits when going straight? less vibration in suspension maybe or what?....and how hard would it be to modify one if i get it from a junkyard?

Sway bars are only functional in turns/corners. It'd be easier to get an aftermarket sway bar for your application/drop as the end links would already be set for what you're trying to accomplish.

but all of the aftermarket ones are for like 2" rear drop, so how can i make it work for a 7" rear drop

do you get alot of body roll with a 5/7 drop ? i would think your center of gravity is low enough combined with a leaf spring setup that a rear sway bar wouldnt do much. unless you do it for looks -lol

not much body roll really but it would be great to have none....in corners you can feel how stiff the front is, and how loose the rear is
