Sway Bar ???
Here's my question. If I lower my truck will I be able to use the factory sway bar still? I'd like to use an ECE 2/4 or 4/6 drop kit but want to retain the sway bar if possible. Thanks, big

They do make different brackets for those that go lower than 4" |

Re: Sway Bar ???
I have the ECE brackets on my truck, 4/6 drop. I just like not having the sway bar hanging down. For the price I'd get them if you go 4/6, I don't think I'd sweat it with a 2/4 though.

Re: Sway Bar ???
With a 4/6 drop one can also simply bolt it to the frame.

Re: Sway Bar ???
I used the ECE brackets and it looks cleaner than the factory mounts. The factory ones will work though

Re: Sway Bar ???
I used the ECE 2/4 kit and their sway bar brackets. I like the way the bar sits in relation to the control arms. I feel that it will work better than at an upward to the rear angle it would have had with the stock mounts.
