I am looking to add rear sway bar to my S&H car.I added the 1 1/8 front bar from a 72 Comp handling pack car and I just wanted to ask if there is any issues with adding a rear bar when you have air shocks on the car.I am not sure how the rear bars are mounted so I just wanted to make sure it will work with air shocks all the way up.Any advice is welcomed.

I am going to show you some photos i have from my ranchero resto that should help. The rear upper trailing arms with have to come off. to install the mounting bracket to the frame. Any 72-79 midsize car with the rear sway set up will work on your car. Try to find a 72/73 sport those could have had the larger 3/4 sway bar. the standard one is a 5/8.

If you can't find an OEM bar, Addco make a 7/8" rear bar with the hardware. The hardware from Addco isn't as nice as the factory stuff, but it works and its the biggest bar you can get for our cars. There is a sticky thread with lots of pics on the Addco installation.
