Front Airbag / Sway Bar question

I am bagging my 75 shortwide and I have a question for those of you running sway bars. I know alot of bagged trucks remove the swaybars, but I am not into that. I want my truck to perform as well as it looks. I bought a belltech swaybar setup for my truck. For those of you that know these, it has the end link setup where it connects to the a-arm, so i would be concerned about that assembly bending if I run side/side with my air ride setup.

My question...
Is it ok to run front/back and side/side or should i just stick to a front/back air ride setup with this swaybar?

Re: Front Airbag / Sway Bar question

You definitely want to run a sway bar.I'm not completely familiar with the Belltech bar and how it mounts to the frame. If it uses the stock style clamps, they can be bolted directly to the frame, or you can use a set of the lowered stand that Early Classic Enterprises sells.

Either way you mount the sway, you will still want four corner control of your system. Just separate your bags front and rear will allow air transfer from side to side when you corner.
