swaybar question
 
Hey guys i have a 72 swb with ece 2 1/2 spindles and djm 3 inch springs and was wondering i bought new poly bushings for my swaybar but my question is should i bolt it straight to the frame or should i use the lowered brackets and second will the stock swaybar bind any or will it work on a lowered truck,thanks guys.:ito:

With that much drop you will probably be fine bolting the clamps to the frame. Once installed cycle the suspension and check for binding. If the angles are bad you might have to go with the shorter ECE stands.

Here's a tip, put the sway bar 'inside' the stock bracket, did that once on a lowered truck and it worked just fine. Gives you a bunch more clearance and pulls the front up a bit to match the lower arms.
