I have always installed bigger rear sway bars on my vehicles so when I got my 3.6 CC 2WD I started looking at the options. I think the ideal one is the bigger ram sway bar that is stock on the 2013-14 5.7 CC and QC (but not on the 5.7 regular cab shortbed). They can be had for less than half the price of the Addco or Helwig and they bolt right in. You just need to make sure you get the U-clamps and rubber bushings with the bigger bar. The u-clamps need a deep socket 13mm and the heim joint nut needs a box end 18mm wrench with a 7mm wrench to hold it steady so you can back the nut off.

I thought the stock smaller bar was actually pretty good but the slightly bigger bar from the 5.7 lends a significant tighter feel and is welcome on cloverleaf curves, curvy two lane roads, long sweepers on the interstate.

Below is a photo comparing the two bars.

$50. find someone with a 5.7 QC or CC who wants the bigger ADDCO bar and buy their stock bar they are replacing. You will need the brackets and bushings too.
