Sway bar mounting flip

I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this. But I thought I’d share the idea.

After lowering my c20 the original sway bar didn’t align nicely with the mounts in the control arms.
What I did was remount the sway bar on top of the original stand off brackets.
I had to knock out one rivet at the front of one bracket then I passed the sway bar through the other side and bent the bracket down far enough to push the sway bar through. Then I bolted down the sway bar and put in a grade 8 bolt to replace the rivet I knocked out.
This saved me buying the low profile brackets offered and seemed to me a lot less work. The bar aligns perfectly now.

This is on a 69 C20 so I’m unsure if the C10 bracket is any different and this is a stock sway bar. But worth a look if you’ve lowered your truck.

I’ve attached a few pics. The original mounting, the flipped mounting and of course the truck.
