stabilizer bar install from a 80's check to a 71
Hello all, I am installing a front stabilizer bar from a 86 3/4 ton chevy to my 71 custom 10 1/2 ton chevy. The question I had is do I need to jack up the frame so the a - arms come down to pit it on or put it on while it's sitting on a level surfce. I have to drill the holes to put the hold downs on it too. Any advice would really help. Thanks in advance.

On a level surface, on the ground or have your truck on ramps.

i had enough room under mine (factory ride height) to install while sitting at normal ride height, no ramps or jack required.

You will love the difference in handling with the sway bar installed.

You shouldn't have to drill any holes.
