My 2nd attempt at rear sway bar option
I posted a few days back about a Ford Explorer rear sway bar. I mounted it and it worked fine. But a member said it was ugly so I had to find another option. Well I have the perfect $12 option. NISSAN Pathfinder 87-95. Its a 1" bar and its not ugly and you don't have to weld any brackets like the Camaro bar. The drop links line up with the bottom of the frame so just drill 2 holes in the frame. The bar mounts to the rear end with 3" exhaust clamps. Very easy install and no welding.

That looks like it fits good. Good find.

Re: My 2nd attempt at rear sway bar option
Here is another pic of the way I mounted it. This is on a leaf truck so the trailing arm guys will have to do your own research.

Re: My 2nd attempt at rear sway bar option
The only thing I would like better is the drop links are a little long so it angles the bar down a little more than I like. I can live with it though.

Re: My 2nd attempt at rear sway bar option
How many leaves are in your spring pack? My 1500 has 4. I have heard of some with 6. Just curious.

rscam, I just noticed you are only about 15 minutes away from me. Small world isn't it.

Re: My 2nd attempt at rear sway bar option
ERASER5 mine has 4. Its a shortbed stepside. I would imagine thats why it has 4. Long fleets could probably be ordered with 6. Just a guess though.
