Anyone install a rear sway bar when using offset leaf spring hangers? If so, what brand sway bar? Does it mount to rear end or frame rail? Was there any noticeable difference in ride after installing?

Thanks!
 
Its called a stabilizer bar on a leaf spring car . They look cool but otherwise a waist of time unless your planning on some serious road racing or your car is heavy. I had one took it off and gave it away. I didn't notice a difference on a light car. They do not prevent sway but control lean. If you have good solid springs its not needed. Weak springs and weight like a pit crew in the back seat road racing you may want to consider one.

Installed a Hotchkiss on my 73 Sport with offset hangers. No issues.

I have Helwigs on both my cars and I feel they make a huge diffence. The car stays flat and feels more secure .
