Rear swaybar swap out from Grand Cherokee to XJ

I heard a while back that I can get rear sway bar off a junkyard Grand Cherokee and swap onto my '96 XJ for much better stability. What years Grand Cherokees will this work with; what models should I be looking for in the junk yards?

Thanks

Just get one from an XJ. Not sure what yrs will work though. Where you located? You can have mine ('96).

Don't waste your time with replacing or adding a rear sway bar. Both of mine don't have them.

The rear swaybar really doesn't do much. Heck the XJ's from the factory didn't come with them if they had the towing package.

Mine was clunking and making a racket driving me nuts. I replaced the bushings and it still was thumping so I took it off and threw it away. Two years later and haven't even noticed it's gone , except that it's quiet back there now .
