Sway bar? what is this?



Mine just mounted to the frame right in front of the steering box,
and there were these holes right there in the frame for it to attach to.

Did your lift come with drop down bracketry for the sway bar ?

The DSS will work if your sway bar is mounted in the factory position - or - if the drop bracketry is at least 3 1/2 inches.

Some lifts supply a 2 inch drop bracket for the sway bar that does not allow enough clearance to mount the DSS. If this is the case the 2 inch drop bracket can be swapped out with a 4 inch drop bracket on a 5 inch lift to get enough clearance.

You can also use different sway bar end links to allow for the lift while leaving the mounting position of the sway bar under the frame rails at factory position.

Atch, I don't remember offhand what the thread measurement is, I'll look into my drawings.

But if you like I'll sell you a shaft/nut for $ 189 and I'll throw in the bracket for free.

Nope, have had front and rear sway bars off for almost 2 years.
Absolutely no adverse affects.

I do drive like they are removed though, don't take corners like a madman, and slow down a little more on cloverleafs, but with the heavy springs on these beasts, it hardly rolls at all.

Here it is in testing phase, disconnected and swiveled back trying it out,
did that for a week to make sure,


And here it is totally gone, if you squint you can see it on the side of the garage back there.
