Just ordered mine from Amazon. Autoanything left me on hold on chat for 45 minutes while checking so I just purchased from amazon for the $234 with no tax and free 2 day shipping and I got the last one, now it shows 5-7 weeks for delivery.

Besides I don't actually think the truck handles all that bad. I took some corners in the stock tires and it gave way fairly controllably. Wheel hop for sure but still highly manageable.

That's the point of divergence in opinion about sway bars. You say it drives like a car now. Well for those that like to go off roading it's not really ideal. If you have a garage queen who moonlights as an asphalt queen then yes a sway bar works best.

Well at any rate, as someone whose needs don't include bouncing around on rocks, the swaybar does exactly what I expected and I'm perfectly happy with it!

I think it said 2 left right before I ordered mine last night.

Well I adjusted mine from the outer most hole (least stiff) to the inner most hole (most stiff) and it did make a nice difference. The truck really is a pleasure to drive in the turns. My $55k truck better not see anything more than a gravel road so it's perfect for my needs.

Installed. The end link assemblies has been updated to a hiem like joint but still utilizes a bushing. Very strong.
The instructions are weak and confusing at times but if I can install this, anyone can.
It is late so I can't really tweek this to my perfect but I can say there is a huge improvement in cornering.

I crawled under my truck today to look around. I wanted to paint any bare metal parts to slow down rust, but most everything is painted except for driveshaft that appears to be steel now instead of aluminun.
I also noticed the front stab bar but I didnt think to measure diameter with some calipers. Looks like label shows that it is 36 diam. I am assuming its a larger bar since truck is set up with tow pack. Here is a photo of part number, but I couldnt find it on Tasca:
