Sux..... For my dually, I had the original HD bar w/upgraded bushings, bought a Bell Tech bar only to find out it wouldn't work w/PB's arms, then got the MuscleBar but have the end link issue, only to get a PB spec Addco bar. That's > $800 invested just trying to get a front sway bar.
Scot,... How much difference is there in the "eye-to-eye" length of the Belltech and Ridetech bar over The PB spec Addco bar?
I have a set of Thorbecke Bros. a-arms on my blazer with a Ridetech MuscleBar.
I assumed the Thorbecke a-arms were just copies of the Ridetech a-arms,... which I thought would work with any aftermarket C10 sway bar that utilized end links.

I also thought the only "custom" sway bar from Porterbuilt was the Addco bar specifically made for the Dropmember equipped trucks,.... which would be alot narrower.
