Re: sway bar

Welder series. You can fab you own up. I'm using one of these on the rear of my '59. Up front I have a '79 Camaro sub frame and I am using the factory sway bar. I may step up to an after market one soon.

Re: sway bar

you mean an anti-sway bar that limits side-to-side movement of the frame/truck over the axle? Or an anti-roll bar that limits the amount of body tilt or lean in corners? These are very different things, sway bar usually on the back, anti-roll bar on the front. usually.

curious, stock trucks usually don't have problems in either of these areas. What kind of shape are you spring mounts and shackles in?

Re: sway bar

Have always called both "sway bars"
I mean the front one
just thinking of making it handle little better while I am rebuilding it
all will get newbushings etc
after all is getting lots more power
