I don't know what this would take to put on a coil spring rearend. I don't ship greyhound as I don't have a terminal near me. I ship these FedEx and it usually runs from $30-45 depending on where it is shipped. They weigh 45 pounds boxed

**1774btcrew** · 11-07-2012, 10:40 PM

I actually picked the last one up I had available yesterday. I had someone else contact me first and didn't want to get back to anyone until I physically had it in my possession. I will give Cheyenne Dan until tomorrow night and then you are up if you still want it.

undr8ed · 11-08-2012, 12:05 PM

thanks

88Jimmy4x4 · 11-08-2012, 02:12 PM

how do these attach to 1/2 ton rearends?...the tube dia is larger for the 14 bolt diffs isnt it? so u-bolt spacing for that bracket wouldnt match right?

If they do fit add me to list

**1774btcrew** · 11-08-2012, 06:29 PM

The bottom plate holes are oval so there is some room for adjustment

Sent a PM. Came up with another rear bar today.

undr8ed · 11-18-2012, 11:42 AM

There's no difference between a reason and an excuse... I am sorry

These rear sway bars are stiffer than all aftermarket bars I've researched. (Not Bethlehem steel, metallurgy, and surface area) make them PERFECT for building a corner carving machine. With a flip, 1" shackle (to keep pinion angle,) THIS BAR, and a fairly soft shock, the rear would be done. Well, on a longbed. With the shorter frame, for less flex, a softer (aftermarket) bar would work. However, I will add that no matter the genre of vehicle I've built, I've NEVER had an aftermarket part fit nearly as well... Never!

I'm surprised one of the cats off the "make it handle" topic haven't been all over this! Good luck with the sale and we'll be in touch for parts!!!

ProStreet83C10 · 11-18-2012, 12:24 PM

do these change ride quality at all, also, do these work well with flip kits that already have VERY tight clearances between the shock mounts and bottom of leaf spring assy? i had to fight hard just to get my shocks in, and the plate is actually sitting on my shock mount, or within literally a HAIR away from it.

The rear bar is still available. Will be starting a seperate post for the 1 and 1/4" front bar

cmax87v3500 · 02-20-2013, 07:42 PM

just found this thread, any idea if one could work on the rear of a k30 with 4 inch lift blocks if you used longer rod ends? (or whatever those connecting rods are called)

Looking at post 18 in this thread the swaybar end links (the term you're seeking

) are composed of a bolt and a spacer with some washers and grommets. I would be inclined to think that longer bolts and longer spacers would make up the difference from the lift blocks.

I am more interested in experimenting with those mounting plates and seeing if I could use those plates on top of the springs as opposed to outside the saddle for the tube. I HATE that style of axle-spring connection.

**1774btcrew** · 02-21-2013, 09:06 PM

I am also not sure on using this on a lifted vehicle. I would think longer end links would do the trick

They work fine on a lifted truck. I had one on my old k30 that was lifted. You just need longer sway bar endlinks. You can get 3/8" ID seemless tube to make longer links.

I will take one...33578

**1774btcrew** · 02-22-2013, 10:08 AM

Sending PM now. I need to know what you are putting this on to know what parts you will need. Less parts = Less shipping cost
