I haven't been able to find it but somebody sells brackets for the axle end of the sway bar that allow for a lift and keep the sway bar in the same position, the brackets have pins in them so off roaders can disconnect them for more articulation.. somebody here posted pictures in their thread..
Thanks for the link Swamp! That is exactly what I'm looking for. Although there isn't a lot of body roll right now, I suspect that when I get the 63's in the back, the bed on it and am carrying firewood, it may get uncomfortably loose. Im working on finding someone on CL that's parting a 73 up K series truck as I write this. I really like how that sway bar looks like it came with the truck!
