front ? rear? replacement? add on? details. it's all in the details. but the most common bar added is the rear add on bar and with that the thickest is 21mm from progress. the most common is the hotchkis which is what a 11?12?13? somethin like that. not that thick.

Also Hotchkiss will Add-on Almost against the Stock one where the Progress is in a different location, By looking at it I have thought you could get both to go on there, but I dont know who would try that.

FYI, the spec's on the Hotchkis bars are as follows:

Hotchkis SPT Anti-Roll Bar
Bar diameters: Front 29mm, rear bar 13mm. The front bar is hollow and the rear bar is an add-on bar that is designed to work in conjunction with factory bar. This kit includes greasable bushings and mounting brackets. For more information, click on the following link:

The Hotchkis rear "sway" bar is actually a rear beam axle stiffener. In order for the rear "sway" bar to function properly, it should be mounted to the frame and rear suspension.

But what do I know, I'm not an expert.

Ha! Holly Sh!t! Your right! I can't believe I didn't notice that. I was must have been just blinded with joy when I realized that I didn't have to deal with bushings when installing it!

Yeah, not having to wrestle w/ stubborn polyurethane bushings is a plus.
