Looking for thicker OEM Sway-bars

+1 - I am not a fan of drilling holes in swaybars. Plan is to figure out a safe upgrade for a rear bar on the 2500 XL, and then determine how much larger in front if possible.

Neither am I
(but only because we're not sufficiently well versed in how swaybars structurally work well enough to know were to drill,
nor how to and/or with what to weld so as to not actually damage the swaybar).

This is why I want to know what other GM OE swaybars are available.
For example: why can't I use
PPV / SSV swaybars?
Z60 Silverado swaybars?
2500 swaybars?

Our definition of GM OE, as is, is depressingly narrow.

this is why Hellwig is a thing, none of the gm sway bars are very thick at all and they are hollow.
went down this road around a couple decades ago
the other option is to weld extra cross members on or fabricate a bolt on solution, but the gm frames are designed to bend and return to form.

some of the really old sway bars may be solid but there thin as heck too

For the 2500 crew, Cognito Motorsports makes a front bar. I've poked at the site a bit.
