Got mine installed yesterday afternoon! Install time from breaking out the ramps to rolling off was not even 10 min.
Noticable difference when driving Turnpike back home, definately didn't want to "roll" in the wind, and the on ramp to the pike from 75-----was able to keep it true in the turn at 80 MPH, didn't have to brake or turn cruise control off!
Let's not forget to mention the HP gain from installing the bar either

I was considering a rear anti-sway bar on my '07 2LT. I just got done looking at the rear suspension, and it appears mine already has one from the factory. There is a bar running across inside the rear "v" channel axle. It's hard to tell what size it is, but a guess is about 5/8". I have not heard of anyone with a "factory" bar installed. If this is not an anti-sway bar, then what is it?? ANYONE??????

Here is a quote from a previous thread. I put the anti sway bar on my 2LT and it made a big difference.

Yes, ther is a round bar inside the torque tube, it is there to "stiffen" the torque tube but does not work the same as a separate sway bar. The Progress Anti-Sway bar bolts to the "lever" end of the spring pad, and is kept "mechanically" separate from the rest of the torque tube (it does however, fit up inside the tube). This allows it to provide maximum resistance to inside wheel lift. It does work in conjunction with the existing torque tube - and greatly decreases rear end sway.
