Need new suspension
I probably should have mentioned that I have the 73-76 style K frame, so the front sway bar is different and I think the Helwig and Hotchkis front sway bars are more comparable for the 73-76 cars. I also had LCA's with tabs already so no welding would have been needed in the front regardless.
The Helwig rear bar is axle hung instead of frame hung, and although you can weld the mounting tubes into the frame where the dogleg bolts go through you don't have to, so the Helwig bar can be installed without any welding. Frame hung rear sway bars like the Hotchkis piece do have some advantages (less weight hanging on the axle), but like everything suspension related there are always trade offs.
