I put this one on my BJ8:

The car stays flatter in corners. It may understeer a bit more, but I can't 
tell in the type of driving I do (spirited at times, but no track work). I 
think the steering got a bit heavier, but I offset that with Torrington 
bearings for the king pins from BCS. I run 185/70 radials on 6" rims. 

The Addco kit is very well made, and complete. You'll probably have to carve 
out a notch in your bumper brackets to make room for the larger bar. 

I talked to someone at Addco before I bought; it's a family-owned, American 
company--top notch. Very good service (Summit was back-ordered for a couple 
weeks). 

I wouldn't want anything stiffer than this.

One of the shop teachers had a suspension business. he saw my car in the 
shop and made me a 1" custom front anti-sway bar. He wants $200.00 for it. 
Any of you experts have an opinion on how such a thick bar will effect my 
car and if that's a fair price? If this is a good thing, he can make more.
