Default Rear sway bar

Has anyone tried to put a rear sway bar on a dakota that didn't come from the factory with one?

Added a stock rear sway to my 01 CC 4X4. Didn't notice a bit of difference.

I have a '97 2wd Sport and used a Hellwig sway bar. I think it's part #7622

I have a 00 sport 2wd. Does it just bolt right on or do I need to do anything?

My axle didn't have the two holed threaded pads for a factory sway bar so I had to use an aftermarket one. If yours doesn't have those pads then go here and type 7622 into the search box and download the instructions. You'll see how a sway bar attaches if the axle doesn't have the factory sway bar attachment points.
