Controlling body roll and improving both low and high speed handling has been proven again and again. Once you drive a rather top heavy 50 year old vehicle without bars, and then with front and rear bars you're going to be sold on their use.
Care should be taken to MATCH the bar size (diameter) with your vehicle....too large is as detrimental as too small. If you use them on the front you need them on the rear and vice-versa.
If your vendor doesn't offer a bar then you'll need to do some R & D on your own. The rear bars on pickups are not that rare...on the front you'll probably have to hit the yards...and fabricate/modify the mounts. Either way the addition of front and rear bars, will improve the handling of your truck. Hope this helps.
