I just noticed my 2011 Dakota doesn't have a rear sway bar installed. A quick read on various posts leads me to believe that Dodge decreased the front sway-bar size on the front and eliminated the rear bar during the 2008 suspension upgrade and stiffened the springs to help compensate.

Seems grabbing the sways off a 2005 to 2007 might be a legitimate upgrade to improve handling. Anyone done this yet? Local boneyard has a pair for about $80. Thinking about snagging them.

go with ladder bars instead
and for the front..forget the idea

I took mine off for off-roading. The end links need to be replaced, as should the one from your bone yard. Let me know if you are interested in it.

I have a 2WD and it is unlikely the thing would even see a gravel road. I'm more interested in reducing roll, improve response and quicken turn-in. I'm not seeing how ladder bars would help that.

What is wrong with the front sway bar upgrade? I am not looking to increase articulation. Or does it just not fit the 08+ due to a shape or design change?
