My Z85 crew did not come originally with a rear swaybar.
Adding the Beltech rear swaybar was one of the best mods I've done to my truck, especially for ride quality.

When it was installed the shop just set the adjustment to the middle.
What would the effect be by setting it more to one end or the other?
Stiffer or softer?

Is this correct?
----------------------
Soft Rear Bar:
Increases body roll.
Decreases front traction while increasing rear traction.

Stiff Rear Bar:
Decreases body roll.
Increases front traction while decreasing rear traction.
Increases Steering sensitivity during high speed cornering.
----------------------

What about ride quality?

what adjustment is ther on it? I have one and see no adjustment? DO you mean where the bar clamps to the axle? I dont think this would matter much, but moving the clams for outward may slightly adjust the bar to stiffer

No, at the ends..
There is a long threaded portion where the end-links attach.
Screw the pair of nuts up (pushing the bar ends down) and that will stiffen it.

Do the opposite and it will make it less stiff.

Here are some pics of my BellTech rear sway bar.

I don't think there is enough adjustment there to make any difference.

Hmmm.
Mine has more adjustment than that.

that just is making the bishings tighter. TO have realt adjustment, you would need to be able to chance where the end link actually attaches to the sway bar. Moving it forwars woud make it stiffer due to the shorter lever action
