Sway Bars On 4x4's
Was this an option? I didn't see any listings for replacement bushings in the catalogs. I tore mine out of a 71 blazer and I know I've seen a few others. Someone told me that the sway bars were the same up through the 70's (not sure about brackets though). Brian

Brian, I was told they never came out on our years only 73-up. I do have quite a few around here.

From what I understand the 67-72 had stiffer springs so no sway bars. 73+ has softer springs for a better ride but the sway bar was nesecary for handling because of this.

Hey Randy, do you by chance have a front swaybar and the leaf plates to go with it? Price shipped? Not concerned about the frame mount brackets, bushings or hardware, I'll order those new. Thanks.......
