Swaybars

[jhwkns]

While I was helping a friend swap rear ends on a 1 ton recently I liberated the sway bars from the donor truck. 1-1/4 front, and 1-1/16 rear. I put the front bar on last weekend. Because I'm running 2" drop coils on the front. I mounted it directly to the frame using no standoff brackets. The angle of attack of the bar to the lower control bar was much better without them. I used greasable neoprene bushings so it really tightend things up. Not that I'm going slalom racing anytime soon, but what a difference in handling. It's much more stable in the wind, especially at freeway speeds. I haven't mounted the rear bar yet. I'll need to fab some brackets that I can weld to the trailing arms, and I'll run the bar upside down to the rear.
