Re: sway bar?
Go to a wrecker and get a 1 1/4inch form any 1973-1987 Heavy Duty 3/4 ton or any 1 ton truck.

 try looking on eBay and get yourself a used one (1 1/4" from heavier truck) and then get the mounts (the really important part) new from energy suspension with eurathane bushings. Matt |

Re: sway bar?
Use the heavy FACTORY bar there easy to find the bolt holes are already drilled in the frame and a arms and don't use urethane bushings unless you want to hear them squeak and moan all the time . Why buy aftermarket when the stock system has proven itself to work great ?

Re: sway bar?
What spindles are you running. I'm using this bar and haven't had any issues.

Re: sway bar?
not sure what spindles are on the truck i bought it that way.the way the Brothers sway bar is mounted is on the front of the lower control arm with a L bracket.just weird,i am looking into the used factory style set up for sure.
