Default Sapphire 2wd and 4x4 Anti-roll bars

Do they mount up the same on the 2wds and 4x4 or completely different?
i.e can you interchange them?

They mount in the same place but the 4x4 is longer pushing the front wheels closer to the bumper.

the escos rear anti roll bar is a upgrade to the sierra being thicker and stiffer

the front roll bars the escos and sierra 4x4 are the same but the 2wd as mentioned is shorter and pulls the wheels centre in the arch unlike the 4x4 where the wheels are almost touching the bumper

Would the effect of just adding the stiffer rear ARB, be to make the car oversteer more as you are increasing the rear stiffness? Is there no corresponding front ARB that's slightly thicker to use to balance the effect of the rear ARB change?
