do you need a shorter mount for the frame? i was thinking about grabbing one from the pick and pull adn i was curious to see if its worth it to even try to get the rivets out for those mounts.

I just mounted mine direct to the frame and drilled holes. You want your bar as parellel to the ground as possible. The do just urethane in the middle for bushings

It's on machias road. It's called northwest auto recyclers. Best prices I've seen so far and nothing gets picked to death

i might check it out if the weather isnt terrible

the mounts on the frame want to sit right on the bend. how did you guys mount it? pictures would be great if you have them

my LCA's ar already drilled for a sway bar. were all of them drilled for sway bar mounts?
