Rear sway bar for a 2wd Blazer

Hello, I have a 1981 full sized 2wd Blazer w/a shackle lowering in the rear (non flipped) is there a factory rear sway bar or an aftermarket unit that will work? Thank you.

There's a factory unit, I think it was available on 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks only and they're somewhat rare. But beefy.

I think they only fit 14 bolt rear ends

I used a Hellwig on the rear of my 4x4 Blazer.
Use a shorter end link setup and it'll work just fine for you. You can mount on top or below the diff.
Here is a pix of a Hellwig bar on friend's Blazer so you get idea how it works.

I used a ford f250 (older like late 80s or 90s) got it dirt cheap (free). looks exactly like the picture but it goes around the bottom side of the diff. I did have to weld the brackets to the frame.
