I'm sure this question has been asked...but do you think I can find it? I just want to know if SS sway bars will fit the LT's?

Thanks ahead.

Yes it will. There's some for sale in the suspension section. Not sure what year you have, if you have 10-11 then get ones from a 10-11. If ur 12 then get some from 12-13. The 2012s have a slightly different set up and require new end links and lower control arms. I have a 2011 and have new 2012 lower control arms and end links so that I can get my 1LE sways to work.

Appreciate that.

How do you like the difference?

Not installed yet :( unfortunately I don't have to tools or patience to pull this off lol front bar is a hassle to get in there so the performance dealer near me is going to do the install but waiting to hear back from them with price. Austin45 did the 1LE sways and he's happy with the swap.

Good info, thanks. Let me know how you make out? I too have a 2011. Where'd you get your 1LE bars? Are they similar to the ZL1's?

Got mine from parts taxi, but I would go through gmpartshouse or Rodgers Chevrolet. They have a different thickness than the ZL1s but I'm not sure what that number is. I can't remember if the 1LE or ZL1 is thicker. If you search for the zl1 or 1le sways there should be a few threads about it and has the info on them

I installed front and back, I also changed the end links and rear lower control arms. I installed the entire 1LE package onto my V6. Its very firm, and I love it. The only thing is that for the V6 there may be clearance issues with your brake calipers. I also upgraded to SS brembos, so I didn't run into those problems. There are a few individuals who are running ZL1/1LE bars with V6 brakes however.
