Flip kit+sway bar?

Just ordered my flip kit from Macs springs. Will I be able to keep the rear sway bar?

But this is a 1 ton. It bolts to the bottom of the leaf spring plate factory. Think I should keep the factory leaf sring plate on instead of the one that comes with the kit?

ah, well now that i know its a 1ton!

i dont know about it exactly. you may end up having to buy a aftermarket bar if there isnt a place to mount the stock on.
