Rear Sway Bars

I'm looking at the Hellwig F/R replacements (I don't currently have a rear bar).
1 7/16" Front
7/8" Rear
Or Addco bars
1 3/8" Front
1" Rear
Logic to me dictates that I want the fattest bars front and rear, so I should use a Hellwig Front and Addco rear. However, I feel that these companies likely spent a decent amount of time doing R&D and 'dialed in' what they felt was the best combination.
I will also very likely be getting a 2/4 drop, kind of depends on how the truck acts with the sway bars.
My thought is the larger rear sway bar would lead to a greater occurrence of 'spinning out' and the larger front would lead towards more under steer.
Go...

I've done them on my Gen II as well as my Cherokee. Unfortunately, they are pretty 'unit specific'. That's why I was asking about Reg Cab Gen IVs

I added rears to my 3rd gen. Definately worth it! Not sure about 4th gen sc's though, but I would think anything would help.

I have a rear sway bar. But it's also on a 3rd gen quad cab.
