Default Sway Bar Sizing

Hello,

2007 Dakota SLT with the 4.7 liter flex. I'm looking to buy a front sway bar for my truck, as it currently does not have one (holes are all there, sway bar is just missing). I am seeing 30 mm, 32 mm, and 34 mm sway bars. A quick search showed no reasonable pattern for what size sway bar this truck should have, so I was curious what are on some other trucks out there from the model type.

Thanks!

You have to measure the diameter of your sway bar to be sure.Most trucks came with the 32mm sway bar.

Thank you for the response. I would measure the sway bar, but like I said, there simply isn't one on the truck, and I am buying the components (bar included) to install on the truck.

If you are 4x4 the previous owner removed it to get better suspension articulation for off-roading at the expense of very poor handling for the street most likely.

32 mm.

Or go to a junk yard and get one off another Dakota, or, they are all over ebay.
