Re: front sway bar mounts
I'll check this morning, Mine was a option from the factory. Also you need to post 1 more time to get away from the 666

Re: front sway bar mounts
If you've lowered yours any, the swaybar mounts need shortened up too.

Re: front sway bar mounts
I not sure, what part of the frame? My stock sway bar has a factory bracket that levels it and then back to the a-arms so I'm not sure where to measure for you?

I would say he wants to know the height of the brackets between the frame and the sway bar mounts on the front of it... LockDoc

Re: front sway bar mounts
From the center of the bar to the center of the bracket up to the frame is 2.5"

Re: front sway bar mounts
 I believe it was Frizzle Fry that mounted his directly to the frame. From what I've heard this is the way to go. If you decide not to go this way, ECE has a lowered bracket you can buy.

Re: front sway bar mounts
I haven't tried it but just looking at the pics you should be able to flip the bushing and bracket onto the top side of the frame bracket gaining you a couple of inches more clearance. In other words runnning the bar through the frame bracket instead of under it. Should work.

Re: front sway bar mounts
Here's the link It's good for probably 3" of spring drop up front, but when I bagged it I had to space it away from the frame a bit.

Re: front sway bar mounts
I don't have a picture, but the ECE stabilizer relocator brackets will move the stabilizer bar about an inch (at least) closer to the frame horns. I didn't put mine on, yet, but have been careful in my travels and have only bottomed-out the front bumper on one nasty dip in the past six years. He shoulda stayed outta my way....took me about an hour to get him cleaned off of the bottom of the bumper.
