Actually, the Hellwig *IS* the Sport Tech and I don't agree that it's
junk.
(see below):

I agree with this post...a rear sway bar is money well spent for the body
roll it reduces.
From your comments, and some of the other posts, I'd probably have
preferred to go with the drill-holes-and-bolt-to-frame Addco model,
rather than the U-bolt-style Hellwig model, but hey, I got mine from
MagnumMrk for $40 plus shipping, and at the time, the price was right.
Sure beats $130-$180.00... If I wanted something that'd pull .90g on a
skidpad, I wouldn't have bought a truck :-) No really, I've got a 4x4
anyway, but the reason I added the sway bar was because on highway
off-ramps etc. I noticed a pronounced body roll in the rear of the truck,
and the rear sway bar has significantly improved this body roll on
cornering! (even the 3/4" model)...
