Are the rear Whiteline 30mm bars still available? Need something for my porker.
I ordered 1 a week or so ago and it's back ordered for about 3 weeks from Autohance. I ordered from them because they said it was in stock and the price was right, I think they sell it cheaper then Whiteline does. I'll reply when I get it.

I bought mine from this vendor and was a pleasure to deal with. Just get your bars from this dude already. Keep it local-ish

Anybody know what the benefits are of a upgraded front sway bar? Read good things about the rear but can't recall anything about the front
Similar to the rear but less prevelant... anti-roll control. While most lifted 80's can benefit from the rear, heavy and lifted 80's can benefit from both. I'd suspect 1 in 4 does both, most do rear only fwiw. We've sold and installed many of them, no fitment issues with either, about an hour each tops.

I'm one of those heavies with a RTT+60# awning on top running a 3" Dobinson lift on 315s. Yeah, both sway bar help with corners, leaning, accidental lane change during high speed cross winds, etc. I run both sway bars, gave up sexy flexy in the process with ZERO regrets. Driving the 80 now isn't as tiring and way more relaxing not only for me but my GF who shares the driving.

Excellent feedback, I'll put this on the buy list. I still need to install my whiteline rear but I'm looking for superior handling characteristics. I can always the front sway bar disconnected when wheeling

Front sway bar disconnect is a must not only for more flex but also for less body movements over uneven terrain. This will tire you out over a long, bumpy trail!
Does anyone know where to get a Blackhawk rear sway bar? I don't see them listed on Endless Horizon's site.

If your having accidental lane change issues the sways have little to do with it, im on 7inches of ligt do 50k miles on highway a year easy and have an alu cab up top. want to fix ALL those above mentioned issues get a delta panhard bracket problem solved I ran whiteline heavies from australia and they didnt help like the delta bracket does.

It's not often this happened but the vehicle did lean over on a heavy cross wind on a particular stretch of hwy in Northern NM. If I was tired, it used to creep over but not any longer. I have the Delta VS rear panhard bracket as well and about to change out all suspension bushings in the next few weeks. Overall, I'm very happy with both sway bars and was willing to make the compromise by losing axle articulation.
One downside to the front HD sway bar is that the body lurches way more now so I'll be disconnecting it on trails.

7 inches and I dont know what REG means50k miles a year, How many miles you got on that REG ? and to be clear how much Lift
Currently upgrading to the white line HD sway bars..
I also may no longer use the LCP front disconnect kit and bolt the front back in place (instead of the pins)
More articulation better?....yes it is, however it's pretty unstable off camber. Well see how it goes being slower off road to combat the roughness of having sway bars..
I drove for about 6mo with both sway bars completely removed & what I found is that I'd rather be able to take overpasses and canyons at normal speeds then have to slow down due to the sway...
Oh also...the dog did not like sliding across the backseat when turning
