Question Rear Sway Bar?

I am looking at a rear sway bar for my 93. I tow a 26" TT. Would a sway bar be to my advantage or would it just be extra steel that I am hauling?

I do have the airbags already.

Would the sway bar then be overkill??

I don't know about overkill but I probably wouldn't bother with one if you already have bags.

Mine never came with a sway bar, maybe someone else has experiance with one?

Just ordered a sway bar from 'J C Whitney's'..
Hellwig, supposed to be complete bolt on, $184.00
with free shipping, Now to see if it arrives
& fits as addvertised...

I think each truck is a learning experience, This is my 4th
truck to set up for a TC. May be the hardest.
The spring block on the 4x4 sure raises CG...

Get the sway bars, airbags do nothing for sway control.
