I'm assembling the front suspension finally on my 74 e-body. I purchased the heavy duty rear leafs, what bar up front should I go with? Both 92 and 96 are the same price.
No sway bars are on this car. And I'm just going with Monroe shocks.

Simplest question I've seen all week to answer.
HD leaf in the rear requires the .96 in front.
Now let's hear from all rocket scientists...

pretty sure my friend put 1.00 t/bar in his 70 440-6 4spd challenger - I was pretty shocked at how tight and solid it drove when I drove it - kyb's for shocks, forget if he went poly/or rubber on the front end bushings but the car rides and drives great

i use 1.00 with an al head hemi. I have Eaton springs in the back. I keep thinking I should have gone up one more size on the bars.
