Looking for front sway bar options for a 1995 GMC G3500 Vandura. Does GM make a 1-1/4" bar that would fit?

The current bar is small; maybe 3/4". Too much front roll. Is there a vehicle made by GM that carries a larger bar that would bolt in? Maybe off a Suburban or Tahoe/Denali? I would prefer to stay with a stock GM piece and not get involved with aftermarket stuff, but I may have no other option. The van is used mainly for towing. Thank you!
