Sway bar
This past summer I scored a 1 1/4 " front sway bar from a79 Chev 3/4 ton Camper Special truck. I ordered the special brackets and polyurethane bushings from ECE. I had the sway bar sandblasted and powdercoated black and installed it on my 72 Long box big block. I have done no other suspension mods to my truck yet and am running 235/70R15 Goodyear RSA tires on all 4 corners and I could feel the difference the sway bar made driving the truck around to the front of my house after I installed the bar. So I'm saying do it and you wont have any problems. Some board members said you might have problems using the lowered brackets without lowering the truck but I havent and I've driven her 500 miles since the install. Since I installed the bar I can take clover leaf turn here at 40 MPH and still feel right in control of the truck.
My plan is to go with a 2 1/2 " drop spindle and 1" drop coil in the front and a 5" drop coil in the rear with the super track bar and shock relocator kit. I am also going to install a ECE quick ratio steering box. I am expecting my truck to handle like a sports car after I get all that done.
