Did the 72 4x4 come stock with a crossmember?

KrazyRay · 12-17-2010, 12:05 PM

The 72 cross member does not have the provisions to mount a sway bar.

KrazyRay · 12-18-2010, 06:02 PM

still available

Mikey72 · 12-18-2010, 08:03 PM

Do you still have any for sale?

KrazyRay · 12-18-2010, 08:42 PM

Yes, I have one available.

Mikey72 · 12-18-2010, 08:48 PM

Its $125 shipped to NC. It comes with sway bar, cross member with mounting brackets, spring plates, and sway bar mounts all disassembled for shipping. You need bolts to attach cross member to frame, new bushings (these are old), and dollar store oven cleaner.

KrazyRay · 12-19-2010, 10:24 PM

I put up several pics on the 4x4 messaage board a few months ago. Try a search and you should find it.
Thanks, Ray

Mikey72 · 12-20-2010, 12:30 PM

good to go, monies sent this morning, Thanks again Ray.

KrazyRay · 12-20-2010, 01:06 PM

I will get it out this week.
Thanks, Ray

**dutchmanz** · 12-20-2010, 08:14 PM

Do you have any pics of this installed in a 67-72? Would the factory front crossmember have to be removed?

KrazyRay · 12-20-2010, 11:36 PM

Yes, I have pics in the 4x4 forum. Look for sway bar...its close to the top.
The 67-72 cross member gets removed and replaced with the square body cross member.

70BLAZERX2 · 12-22-2010, 08:50 PM

I used the 87 ton 4x4 front sway bar...simply drilled 2 holes in the 67-72 front crossmember and bolted the sway bar to rear leaf spring shackle's (1/4 inch think stock with holes)

Was easy to do without changing the front member..

this is on a stock 69 K/20 frame.

I hauled 5,280 lbs of gravel on it today and it handles great.

KrazyRay · 03-17-2011, 12:39 AM

More sets available!

KrazyRay · 04-02-2011, 01:20 AM

**CUSTOM/10** · 04-02-2011, 10:00 AM

I maybe interested if this set up will work with a 4" lift kit ?

Gary

KrazyRay · 04-02-2011, 10:34 AM

Gary, I used this same changeover on my 72 K20 with a 4" lift. I used some thick steel flat stock between the cross member and the sway bar. I thought it looked good.
