Anyone know of a source for rear sway bars?

I have searched high & low. I want my truck to handle well and a rear sway bar is necessary for "sports car" like handling.

Try Coleman, Hoerr, Speedway, AFCO, any of those race part places. You will need to fabricate all the mounts, or at least most of it. What about the other manufacturer's parts? I think ford, gm and dodge have rear sway bars, maybe you can retro-fit something. Funny, im ditching the front swaybar next week, going the other way.

Sorry, also looking for a rear end leveling kit. I know of the 2/4 kit but I dont want to drop the front and the rear, just the rear to get rid of the bulldog stance and hopefully improve the handling a bit.
My plan is to make my truck like the Lightning,(but in a 4 door) Stillen supercharger, 15" front calipers, rear sway bar, performance shocks, grippy road tires and a new limited slip differential. Already got the Stillen exhaust and the Volant intake and am pleased with them.
I also wish someone would come up with the VVT (THE CASTINGS ARE IN PLACE IN THE HEADS) and some hotter cams for our truck.... Nismo are you listening?

Thumbs up Thanks Greg, will do

I got an 03 jeep wrangler for serious off road stuff. I want my titan to be a road rocket that can pull my boat safely. Ever try to pull a boat with a lifted Wrangler, SCARY!!!! The jeep is dangerous on the street (the way I drive anyway).

How bout you bring me your truck an I'd build you a custom 3 link with a panhard bar on tuneable reservoired coil-overs. You'd be the first Titan I know of to do this. Then we could redo the front a-arms for more roll-rate and drop the whole truck about 4". Custom sway bars front and rear, hell, pull the bedsides and run a 315 ish street tire in the rear (actually it might fit already). Modify the spindals to increase the stering effort, and move the rack for the much needed bumpsteer improvment. Hmmmm, now you got me thinking.

Greg..... Shame on you fior teasing

I am in Central Florida, so our distance would preclude your seductive suggestions. I have also thought about a quicker rack or just moving it to speed up the steering ratio and get more "feel: . The stock steering sems "vague" to me and prone to wandering, or is that me?

Hellwig did a sway bar from my tundra and I really liked it. Might check with them as I'd be interested in this add-on for the crew cab. Seems they are coming soon...April 2005
