I have a 1974 charger SE came with 318 now has a big block . just looking for info. I used Schumacher mounts . is it 74 only or is it 62 to 74 B & E body like mopar performance book says,, correct with its a 41 inch bar ? I rebuilt the suspension completely its just seems very bouncy in the front . I even put polly isolaters in. I was just thinking a bigger bar stiffen it up a little. I have 96. in my 1969 charger . thanks

I have a 1974 charger SE came with 318 now has a big block....I rebuilt the suspension completely its just seems very bouncy in the front. I even put poly isolaters in. IMO, anything in this era mopar needs at the min 1" TB...Shocks need to balanced to TB size From everything I've read, bigger is better in this department, within reason. And quality shocks are a must.

Don't be afraid of larger diameter TBs.... every incremental step you make in size will be noticable... but I'd start at around 1.10 or 1.12... and consider slightly siffening up the leafs... as well as getting better shocks... double-adjustables bet bet for tuning your ride/comfort.
I've tried many different sizes... the small sizes (~1.00) are not even worth the time/expense. I love my 1.24 (largest that will fit through the hex of 1.25). Firm Feel has a wide selection and in the correct lengths per body.

this is from the sway away website...

Whether you’re looking to stiffen up your daily driver, build a dedicated track car or anywhere in-between, Sway-A-Way offers sizes ranging from .96” to 1.24”, allowing you to source the correct bar for your application. Here is a chart showing relative spring rates of the different bar lengths and diameters. DODGE SPRING RATES

Good to see their choices in Mopar TBs... I wonder if they had previous involvement with California Suspension/Moparts (ahead of the times in the 1980s)?
