This is just for brackets right? I guess I would. As long as it helps with performance and they look good.

Re: if there was a company that made....

usually it better to get rid of the a arm bushings on the sway bar and raise that portion with a heim link so as to make more solid swaybar action under load, but the front can benifit from a more solid standoff for the brackets if thats what you machining,

Re: if there was a company that made....

If the truck is dropped enough that you're concerned about the extension brackets hitting something, skip the brackets completely & bolt the sway bar directly to the frame.

All my trucks have had +5" front drops & not a single one has used the factory or aftermarket 'shorter' extension brackets.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
