Default Sway bar opinions please

So I'm thinking about picking up a belltech 1 1/4 inch front sway bar kit for my 93 v6 sc/sb. My truck didn't come with a sway bar factory, so my question is what will I have to do to make it work, if anything. Also what kind of improvements should I expect over stock.
Any input would be great.
Thanks, Chris.

As far as I know 100% of all Dakotas came with a front anti-sway bar. Maybe someone removed yours. With one added you will notice more stable body as you take tight turns at speed. Other than that you wont gain much.

I read somewhere that only ext cab and v8 early gen daks got sways, and my trucks been in my family since new and I can almost guarantee nobody took it off. Now seeing as how its a sport, it should have a sway bar, but it didn't. Theres no brackets on the frame but the end link holes are in the lower control arm. But I would assume all 2wd lower control arms would be the same. at least from 91-96...

Let me re phrase that, there are holes in the lower control arm where a sway bar end link could connect.
