I need to install bars for two cars and currently have one complete set of police bars (front and rear). Still need another pair of bars, though.
There are two big block engines in my garage just waiting to get shoehorned into both cars – but want to get suspension done first.
Actually, there are 5 big blocks in my garage, one of which is the original 440 out of my ’70 Chrysler 300/H, another is a complete 440 Motor Home engine that I bought for the transmission (not sure what to do with the engine, though) and another 440 block which I’m trying to sell for a friend.
The front factory sway bar works great for normal usage. With that said, the front factory sway bar center brackets (even the HD and XHD ones) are a bit under-built for the job (ie: they can break a lot). I couldn’t count that high on how many the Tulsa Police Dept. broke when I worked at the dealership, there.
Because of that, I do recommend getting the TTI front bracket set from them – on no matter which front bar you use.
The last I checked, there are other companies still making front sway bars – and all of them (except TTI) say “reuse old brackets”
(sigh).
This link gives a pictures of the Std/HD and EXD front brackets/links and shows the differences.

TTI has always been a high quality product company and also races what they manufacture. I really would like to get two pairs of sway bars from them, but just don’t have that much money laying around. Actually, I don’t have the money I want to purchase one pair of bars from them, yet (but they are high up on my wish list).
