have fitted  one to mine ...  7/8" bar from ADDCO  plus a 1-1/8" to the front  ......  but firm feel do  one also they mounts the bar above the axle  ...  liking this set up better ..might change

Here is a picture of the Addco on mt Dana60. It Handle very well , although Ive never drivin this car without one Id say it helps quite abit.

I have the ADDCO on mine as well....couldn't pass up the deal Summit had on close out.....I think I paid $79 for the powder coated black one.  Makes the car feel much tighter in the rear.  Tucks up nicely as well & cant really be noticed (except for the cadmium brackets if you bend down & look for it....)

I'd like to add a rear sway bar but I don't really want to drill into the frame rails.  I can't see from the pictures, so what's the mounting like at the end links?  Thanks.

Yep...2 holes per side on the frame rail....not too intrusive IMHO

Yeah, that's not too bad.  Is that the 7/8 or 3/4?  I drilled holes in the K-frame for the front bar, so why not.  At $79 I can just quit smoking for two weeks to pay for it - I've used that excuse before.

This is the Firm Feel rear bar in an A-body.  They say the B-body is the same.

didn't 2nd gens have the rear sway bar as an option ?

3rd gens are with holes already on frame, no matter if didn't have sway bar

Here's the Hotchkis bar mounted on the rear of my '69. The bar is hollow, as far as I know Hotchkis is the only one making hollow bars. Drilled 2 holes also, one in each frame rail. Super beefy bar, though. And, greaseable bushings.

Nope...only the 3rd gens

Bill, like I said before the Hotchkiss bar is really nice....too bad they disco'd it

I doubt they have it for that price anymore....that was last year....I believe its 7/8

I installed the firm feel RSB and had to have my exhaust redone because the bar goes right where the pipes are.

The lower installed sway bars don't look like they would have the same problem.

[Chatt69chgr]

I better not have that problem with my rear sway bar from Firm Feel because I called them and they specifically told me that the bar would clear the stock exhaust pipes. 

Has anybody installed the rear bar from Firm Feel on a 2nd gen Charger that can address the exhaust pipe clearance issue once and for all.

where can  you get Hotchkiss sway bars from i could find any on the web site
thanks aaron

[ChgrSteve67]

Chatt69chgr  here is a real easy test for you.

Jack up the Charger and put some stands under the axle.
Take off the wheels.
If you can run a broom handle from one frame rail to the other with no clearance issues you will be ok.

Like my tire rub from not having a rear sway bar?

Here's a link on a rear sway bar on 8WHEELER's 68 Charger its some good info.
