120Y. Few mm's thicker and bolts straight in with the 120Y mounts.

This chart may help with your choice of bar diameter. Before changing the sway bar, what is the car currently doing when cornering atm.

best thing for ute, change rear leafs to coupe ones or at least remove smallest leaf to soften rear

and put new shock absorbers all round (most people overlook this but it is most crucial component of suspension)

well im actually running a 22mm in front of my ute nowdays
i think the 120y does a good job of limiting body roll

getting the ute to handle good on the road is one thing
to get it to handle well on the limit (on track) is another

maybe i'll revive my old thread about ute handling to share
my experiences now that ive fiddled with my utes handling for the
last 12 months or so...

ill post up in the next few days as im about to head out for dinner

my ute has so much body roll its not funny, i put some hardend coupe springs in the rear but it still has heaps of body roll thats why i thought by stiffening up the front might help.

when my ute goes sideways there is no chance you can control it, its just spins out. and im pretty sure its not just my driving because ive had my fair share of going sideways in high powered cars haha
