Re: Removing factory sway bar, and installation of same on a lowered truck
Ha ha..........OK, the sway bar is a 5 minute job. There was no stress on that bar, but I did have the lower arms & frame on jacks. There was a hodgepodge of bolts. I wasn't going reuse them anyway, because the threads aren't great. They're grade 5 bolts. Seems like a good place for grade 8.
Sounds like the existing brackets are good with a 2.5" drop. Worst case scenario I have rivets to bust after the frame is painted, but it's being hand painted anyway.
Thanks for the info.
