    So I saw a few post about rear sway bars for our mavericks, is there a link to a site for the company that makes them? I'm interested in buying one. I have a 75 mav

    Does the thicker front one make a huge difference overy the stock one? Just curious

    Not a "huge" difference, but there is a difference. It counter-balances oversteer that the addition of a rear bar could increase.

    If you want a bigger front or rear have Carolina swaybar make them
    Send your stock ones in and tell them what diameter you desire
    A one off from tjem will be cheaper then a group buy though addco..

    And you'll receive it a hell of a lot quicker too!

    Maybe not what you'd call "huge" all on its own.. but add the two bars together and the difference will be all that and much more. Sway bars are the single biggest bang for the buck you can do for a soft stock suspension.

    You will want to research past posts pertaining to this. Someone had a photo of one side pulling out of the rear clip. Whomever it was created a bracket/sleeve to fit over the clip, thus strengthening it. He said it made quite a difference.
