Default Over size sway bar

went to replace my front sway bar bushings. I ordered the replacements online. When they came there were to small. So i order again. same thing. Fast forward. Local parts store helped me out the only sizes bushing that fit were for a 3500. Is this a good upgrade? I should I remove?

If you don't do a lot of off-roading, just leave it.

IIRC, there are two sizes of bushings, 32mm and 35mm. Mine happen to have been 32mm ('99 1500).

It's a larger diameter bar, designed for heavier duty. On a half ton, it just makes the front end that much more resistant to body roll in corners and such.
