Rear Sway Bar
Does anyone have pictures of their rear sway bar set up? I have a sway bar from a Camaro cuz I had read that other had done that. what I didn't notice was that they were all trail arm set ups. I sorta played around trying to mock it up but kept hitting the shocks. I know you clamp onto the rear end and the links to the frame with spacers. anyways any help is appreciated.

Re: Rear Sway Bar
The Camaro one is too wide, it hits the shock mounts. I have one too, lol. I thought about cutting the shock mounts off and running a leaf spring plate with a shock mount on it, like on a car. Then building a crossmember for upper shock mounts. But it seems like a lot of work just to use this bar.

Re: Rear Sway Bar
Would it mount pointing backwards? Or would it hit the other shock mount then? You might try a 92-00 suburban bar. Its 7/8" bar. In stock form it mounts under the frame. I can take some measurements if you need.

Re: Rear Sway Bar
You could probably get away with mounting it on top of the axle. I plan on flipping the axle, and I want to run full exhaust, so I don't think it would be an option for me.

Re: Rear Sway Bar
yeah that's what I thought. mounting it backwards just makes it hit the other shock. I should have done some better research before getting ahead of myself ha ha ha
bdiamond: do you have one installed or you own a suburban? sure measurements would be good if you have some the time. thank you. |

Re: Rear Sway Bar
I have a Blazer I had planned putting one on. Ended up getting a smoking deal on a pair of Belltech bars and installed them instead. I'll get measurements for you in a bit.

Re: Rear Sway Bar
Center to center of axle bushings= 30.5"
Center to center of frame mounts= 37" From the axle mount to the endlink mount =12" It is shaped just like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belltech-94-...-/291026355912 the only difference is the endlinks are rotated 90* from this |
