The cast iron plates gave me a little bit more clearance around the shock mount. I still had to grind the passenger plate slightly. I also had to grind the drivers side sway bar mount plate in little bit.

I bolted up the swaybar similarly as it came off the donor truck. To make it fit, I had to Cut off the excess threads from two of the U bolts. I put in all new replacement bushings. As for the end links, I used all thread and tubing along with nylock nuts. I had to drill two holes in the frame, but that was the extent of any drilling.

In the end, it was a little more work than I expected, and I had to do things a little different since my truck has a 4 inch lift, but the rear sway bar was worth it in my opinion.
how did it help with the handling?
