This QA1 1.5in front sway bar kit gives the 1999-2006 2WD Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 a more stable, confident feel by reducing body roll and sharpening handling. The larger 1.5in diameter adds front-end stiffness and stability, especially when paired with QA1 coil-overs and tubular control arms. It is designed to install with basic hand tools and comes with bushings, brackets, and hardware, with no cutting or welding required. It works exclusively with QA1 lower control arms and will not fit OEM or other manufacturer lower control arms, and it is not compatible with vehicles originally equipped with torsion bar front suspension. QA1 sway bars are made in Lakeville, Minnesota with a durable powder coat finish.
