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.
Prob about 4" difference. The PB spec'd Addco bar (& Ride Techs Musclebar) has the end links @ approx 44" apart. When you put the Bell Tech C10 bar I purchased beside it, there was about 2" difference each side. I'll measure it today just for reference.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
