I have a 99 CTD 4x4 2500 auto short bed extended cab, and I just noticed that I don't have a rear sway bar. The one that is "U" shaped and goes around the rear diff. Does anyone know if I need one, if it never had one, or how I can get one?

Also I am running 33x 12.50 bias ply tires if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

 

It was an option, you can find a or buy one and it'll bolt right up. Never had one on the 99 dually or 2000 2500 so I couldn't tell you the difference with or without one...

 

Like RR said it was an option. They make a big diff if you pull alot.

 

my truck dont have one

 

It's part of the camper package that was available. It was designed for the heavy slide in campers to keep a top heavy truck stable. For most anything else it's completely useless.

 

Had to be a tow Package , I got one

 

If you're going to be towing fairly heavy on a regular basis, it would be worth looking into putting one on. If not, about all it's going to do is make your ride a bit stiffer.

 

does the same thing as ladder bars , ladder bars look cooler tho

 

Not to mention ladder bars help with spring wrap. Both the swaybars from my Cherokee found a new home on the wall in my garage years ago. I wish I had a dollar for every time somebody told me.." You can't run with no swaybars on the street, you'll flip your Jeep." The way I see it, if you drive like an idiot, you can flip anything with two or four wheels under it.
