It looks like the sway bar is on upside down.

I think this is the problem. I believe the angle at the arms should point upwards.

Thanks all for taking the time to reply

Maybe you need to run the stock front mounts for the sway bar to correct the angle. The ones for lowered trucks mount the bar higher in the front.

Yes they are drop springs from ECE and drop spindles and the bar is for a lowered truck well that is what i ordered. It is there 4/6 drop kit.

That is what i have been saying to ECE over my Emails to them, they say the lower arms are bad as the holes are in the wrong place. I just don't buy that as the holes on the clamps line up perfectly with the holes in the lower arms, you can drop the bolts though with your fingers and get the washers and nuts on, how can they be in the wrong place.

Next time i am down there i will try the bar the other way around and see what it looks like.

It shows which way the bar should go.

Thanks for that, i have a copy of that photo before i fitted my bar and that is how i fitted it the 1st time and they popped out so i swapped it around and still had the same issue so sent ECE a photo and they said the way i have it now ( opposite to the right way) was correct.

What i did not do 1st time as put the jack under the lower arm and tighten up the clamps, i just pulled the bolts up with the arms hanging free on the lift.

When i am back down the shop i will flip the bar and try it with the jack under the arms.
