Wayne, you seem to like to compare apples to oranges (as many do on here).
Your earlier post quoted below showed that you went from a tow vehicle rated to tow 6,500 pounds to one rated at 10,000 pounds. I think that is what contributed to your safety and well being as much as a $80 sway bar. Comparing vehicles that are twelve or more years different in age doesn't prove much. I like the safety and security that my 2013 2500HD gives me, without any supplemental controls.
Here it is:
" snip.........Plus, the new 5.3 has a lot more HP and torque than the 6.0 in my old truck. Old truck was rated to tow 6500 pounds, new truck rated to tow 10,000. (In the real world, the limiting factor on the new truck seems to be hitch weight/carrying capacity, not tow capacity.) Wayne"
