I DO want the hotchkis kit, but my truck didn't come with a rear swaybar, it
was built as a base model (they don'e get rear bars) and from what I've seen
every rear bar on the market requires that you have a stock bar before you
try to replace it with theirs. I didn't think you could buy just the
hotchkis front bar, that's why i looked at addco (yes they make front bars)
and some others.
