Need help on mounting a front sway bar on 72 K10.

[imbio]

I am new to the forum and need help on mounting a sway bar on my 72 K10. I have the spring mounts, but did not see which way they were originally mounted, or how the bar was attached to the frame. Does the bar mount to the spring mounts on the left or right? One side of the bar has an offset. Does the offset go on the driver side? One big question is when the bar is laying on the ground, the ends do not appear to be on the same plane. One end sits slightly off the ground while the other end sits on the ground. Is this wrong or is the offset compensated when mountin to the frame? Are the frame mounting brackets unique, or are they easily fabricated?

Any and all help appreciated. Pics would help also!

Thanks again,

Steve

Before I forget, is mine tweaked, since both ends won't touch the ground at the same time?

Thanks again for the help!

Who is interested in fabbing the brackets like BobbyK to sell? I am ready to buy a set.

Hope the pics help you out I used a pice of 2x4 steel to make it but I plan on redewing it with the same tubing as my roll bars and the sliders Im making so that it looks a little better.
