It makes a huge difference. I have it on the softest setting and I can notice the difference

Makes the most noticeable difference on a curvy road at higher speeds, cuts down on the rear sway of the truck immensely. The truck just feels more planted.

Best upgrade you can do to a 5th Gen considering cost, install, and what it does to the truck. If and when I trade it, the bar is coming with me to be installed on the next one

I have the bar in the stiffest setting and 2" lowering/level springs on the rear, thing stays really flat around hairpins etc. One benefit i haven't seen anyone post is that it seems to really help with sway control when towing. I tow a 5k lb trailer a lot and it definitely helps keep the rear level and settled down over big road imperfections at speed.

Well then, I'll post on towing. I tow a fifth wheel, and the difference is huge. I have the Andersen so it moved the pivot point higher than a conventional fifth wheel hitch, and it really got rid of a bunch of body roll on the stiffest setting.. Must say that I also went to a stiffer sidewall tire to get rid of the tire squirm.
