Subject:anti-sway bar

Hello all- I was driving behind a Chevy Tahoe  SUV today and it was easy to see a anti-sway bar on the rear suspension. Now SUV's as you know have a reputation for rolling- completely over that is.
 It has been blamed on top-heaviness.  
I have been advised by the list that I should be careful on ice since I installed the Addco sway bar . Ice is rarely a concern in the Pacific Northwest, but we do have rain slick roads. I do not notice any adverse handling and just the opposite- the body roll is gone, the ride is more stable in wind and cornering is a breeze. I think that you can only gain by adding a anti-sway bar. Besides-I don't corner hard on ice or in rain or slam on the brakes in these conditions! What do you think?
