I am sure the tabs could be re-located inboard a little if you wanted to run a narrower sway bar,

Thanks Nate I will look into this when my parts arrive. When I order the Control arms would it be possible for me to get the arms with the sway bar mount tacked on to the arm instead of solid welded?

I am curious to know, If the mounting C/L of the swaybar can somehow be moved rearward on the frame, and have the swaybar end link mount through the plate of the control arm rather than on a tab to the outside of the arm. I am not sure of any bag clearance issues that may come up in this situation.

I thought I saw a post a while back where you mentioned you would be making your sway bars in house or were changing suppliers is this still happening.

The arms can be ordered with the sway bar tabs tacked or loose... you would just need to request it.

Also.... YES.... sway bars are in the works. Dialing in a few things before we put them into production.

Re: Porterbuilt Front tire Size

Thanks again for the information. I will be completing my order at eh end of the month. I will hold off on the sway bar until I have everything else installed.
