Stock swaybar i doubt it but maybe rig up something aftermarket like a currie one.

Right on.Thanks.Those are pretty cool.I wonder if those would work for the front too.The bar goes through the frame right?

Nope you have to ditch the sway bar to run crossover steering .... still so worth it !

I read somewhere that someone made a high steer bracket that placed the connecting rod behind the knuckle specifically to make room in front for both the drag link and a sway bar fitted with disconnects. Pirate or CK5 perhaps?

Cross over is the only way to go on these trucks I have two 78 one with a 12" lift and a cross over kit and one with a 6" lift with the standard setup I'm taking the 6" and installing it on my dually and it will also get a crossover on it neater truck had a sway bar never know it wasn't on there driving it I wanted to throw rocks at the one with the standard steering setup after driving with the crossover setup I have a off-road design crossover kit and it will turn it from lock to lock which is great

Thanks!looks like that guy did it but he said he has some clearance issues turning right.Ill figure it out.Im just glad to see that its doable.I think i will be ok.I might have a little more room then that guy because of the dropped spring hangers.I know the dropped hangers are frowned upon but i wanted it higher and didn't want to spend money.(didn't have any...)

Was it on a stock or aftermarket knuckle?

Re: Question about crossover steering
 
I honestly don't remember Pat. I'll need to start looking into it again. I want to do a 52" spring swap so I dont want to lose my swaybar. But I would like to go crossover steer. I'll have to go back and redo some homework.
