Question Addco sway bars?

I've seen plenty of posts about the Helwig rear swaybar, but nothing about the Addco bars. Addco has both a front and rear bar for the 4 wheel drive Tundras. Anyone out there have experience with these sway bars on a Tundra? Care to share info? Thanks.

Default part numbers?

Interesting enough, Addco does not list part numbers for the Tundra application. But two different web sites list them with prices:
www.shox.com
www.truckperformance.com

I like the ride quality of my Tundra but would like to reduce the body roll and sharpen the handling. Thus my interest in the Addco bars. It seems that reducing the body sway at both ends would be more effective than adding only a rear bar. But I'd like to hear if anyone has tried this, and the results to ahndling and ride.

AFAIK, the Tundra already has a factory installed front sway bar. At least that's what I've picked up from the numerous threads here.

One thing I noticed about the Addco rear sway bar compared to the Hellwig, it's smaller in diameter. The Hellwig is 1 1/8" dia. Not sure how that might affect the performance of a sway bar, but I'd assume the smaller the bar, the less it reduces roll?

As for handling, I don't think anyone here would tell you _not_ to install a rear sway bar (unless you offroad a lot). A few people have mentioned excessive oversteer with a Hellwig on the back, but not enough to remove the sway bar.
