K-series upgraded front anti-roll bar

[94K3500PROJECT]

I’m looking for an upsized front swaybar for a K-series truck.
I have a 96 Ext cab K1500 and two Crew cab K3500’s one with a 5.7 and one with a 6.5 ALL three trucks have a 1-1/8” front bar.
On Rock Auto list up to a 33mm bar (bushings but not the bar). This makes me think not all the 4x4 trucks got the same bar.

What is available that I’m not finding?
What’s the largest front bar from the factory on the 4x4’s?
I’m trying to avoid a Pick n Pull trip because they are so far away.

There's a couple of threads running on this subject - the more recent IIRC has actual sizes of the biggest bar available.

There's a difference in size of front bar depending on whether the truck got a rear bar or not. Trucks with rear bars got a slimmer front bar. Trucks without rear bars had a larger front bar.

Yes, do a search. Just last week we posted some measurements...

Good luck

Good luck will be needed! I just tried finding that recent thread and couldn't.
The thread I started doesn't nail the largest bar question - the unfindable one did IIRC.

I searched for “swaybar” and came up empty

I had a look for it earlier (in a few of the sections - this forum is a bit random in that respect) and couldn't find it. It was recent - past few weeks, no earlier. Maybe it will be revived and reappear.

Is this the one?

Found this as well but it's mostly 2WD talk.

First one - that's the badger!
I probably missed it as it was already resuscitated and showed a pre 2020 date when I Google searched.
A mention of Tahoes having a 1, 7/16'' bar may interest the OP of this thread.

Even in those there is no concrete info on what sizes are available.
At this point I’m almost certain there was only 1 size for ALL gmt400 trucks

Ridetech makes an upgraded 2wd bar. If it's different from a 4wd bar that does us no good. I want one badly for my dually. I've seen other aftermarket bars that are no bigger than stock.
