Had to do a double take when I saw the topic on this one. I guess that there are so many Ford topics that we get confused :B Chevy is just 3500 or 4500 no "E" involved.
I have to agree with you having also driven about a dozen Fords of the same type and style, they all slammed hard on bumps/dips even over the cracks on the freeway would make the whole rear shudder.
The Chevy rode much smoother without all that banging and noise. I have replaced the shocks with Bilsteins and just got a new set of Michelin LTX MS2s and the ride is even smoother with very little sway.
I have a 2005 Chevy 3500 27ft class C and it has both front and rear sway bars and they are the same size. 1.375 in. or 1 3/8. It has very little sway or lean from bad roads or wind.It is odd that yours does not have one on the rear,it is not listed as an option on my build sheet.
The one that j-d posted is the same size as my OEM sway bars. He also had a good idea on the junkyard replacement,it may be a lot cheaper.
I can see that having a rear sway bar would only be an improvement over what you have now.
