HI HAS ANY ONE PUT A SWAYBAR ON THE REAR OF A COILY
I KNOW THE REAR ROLL STIFFNESS IS TO LOW COPARED TO THE FRONT SO WILL THIS HELP A BIT WITH IT ALWAYS WANTING TO LIFT THE FRONT UP IN THE AIR
ALSO IS THERE A WAY OF MAKING A ADJUSTABLE SWAYBAR

hmmm if your sierra is doing this your springs are either too soft or your shocks are stuffed/ set too low..
you could use a front sway bar but it would require to be mounted above the diff centre..
as for adjustable there are many factory cars/ 4wd with this setup, you could pull the parts and make it fit..

I don't really agree mud4B. I know that poor shock/spring choice will make it worse, but even cars with custom valved koni's and firm springs wanted to hike front wheels in the air everywhere. - IMHO it is a design problem. Personally, I think they do need a rear swaybar to increase rear roll stiffness.
Leaf sierras have much higher roll stiffness in the rear than the front, but for some reason (it looks like engneering laziness to me) suzuki massively lowered the roll stiffness in the rear of the coilers compared to a leaf car (or compared to the front of a coiler) It look slike they did this to avoid having to re-engineer the rear of the chassis too much. It's ironic becuase Suzuki know how to make a coil rear end work - the vitara rear end is one of the best designed around for what it does.
I have looked at doing this, but the car we were dealing with had a 2" BL whch allowed more room to put the bar through either above the fuel tank or above the chassis.
Maybe take you car to a good road car suspension specialist- there are heaps of aftermarket sway bars available and it should be possible to find something that will work. (Whiteline make heaps)
Lots of aftermarket swaybars are adjustable- they have multiple mounting holes for the links at the ends.
The gold standard would be the currie antirock swaybar but these are quite expensive and will involve some fabrication to fit.
Just some ideas.
