Factory front sway bar size ??

[badmix]

I had taken the sway bar off my K5 some time ago. Well, I drive the K5 way more now and its killing my tires and tired of the body roll. I found a sway bar from a 70s model long bed truck, i got it off and installed on my K5, all went great. The bushings are so so, enough to get it working but getting ready to order some new bushings. It seems there are various sizes.

LMC has them at 1 1/4

But Rock auto has them i difference sized like 1 1/8, 1 3/16, 1 5/16 and on and on and on, there is no consistency.

Thanks in advance.....

4x4 bar is a bar . the 2wd has few sizes .

You can use an open end wrench as a caliper to measure the diameter of the sway bar..
The bushings on my pickup's sway bar at the cross member are about done,rubber is squeezing out of the clamps and I can feel the bar clunking on some bumps...debating whether it is worth almost $25 for the urethene bushings, rather than stock ones I can get for less than half that..truck wont get driven enough to wear out even OEM rubber ones probably..ones in there now are likely 1982 originals..
