Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
I have a idea on what I am going to do for the front bar, I am going to run a nascar style since I no longer have the fractory frame rails or front suspension. On the rear what are my options? I am going to be cramped for space with the bags in front of the axle and the watts on the rear. I was thinking again about using the nascar style and mount it behind the axle and attach the end links to the axle. Will that work??
Thanks guys http://www.stockcarproducts.com/susp21.htm http://www.stockcarproducts.com/susp22.htm Last edited by jkade; 01-12-2008 at 11:28 AM. |

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
I like that. Would look good polished up. Have you thought about mounting the rear to the trailing arms? You may find more room up there without all the clutter. Also, would a Corvette front bar work for you?

Good thing is that they are not that expensive and if they are good enough for nascar they should be good enough for a street truck. |

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
A Camaro rear bar might be an option depending on how much travel you'll have with your bags.

![]() Aren't you ditching the Camaro bar? Is it incompatible with your current amount of lift?

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
I'll be running torsion sway bars on my 77.
The rear is done and I'm in the process of fitting the front now that the dropmember is in.

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
OK, I thought I was pretty up on different sway bar configurations but I've never seen the torsion sway bars.
Where do you get them? Do they have to go through the frame like that or could the tube be mounted under or over the frame rail? I like the idea and the look. Can you get the torsion bars in different diameters and lengths to tune the suspension? 7T7, I love your set-up. It's very clean. ![]() Where are you mounting your tanks and compressors and where is your exhaust gonna exit? I'm also curious why you have the disc brake on the diff and on both wheels? Do you have a build thread? It'd prolly answer some of my questions.

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
jkade - I ran the same sway bar, but turned it around and ran it behind the rear axle. The mounts are on the chassis at the very rear of the truck and the attachment points on my bag mounts that are behind the axle. No pictures of it here on my work computer. It worked out real well for me. I'll post pictures tonight if anyones interested.

Re: Front and rear sway bars with bags?????
Here's a couple of the finished pics (after 7,000 mi). I'll clean it up real good once in the Spring, after that, quick washes and "Cruisin"! Any other questions, I'll be happy to answer. By the way, that's a "Fuelcellguy" tank that's been Linex'd. The first pic is the tank in first trial fit. The last pic is the cardboard template I took to Fuelcellguy. It shows pretty well how I mounted the sway bar in relation to the tank.
