Sway bar for dropped axle

[dubie]

Ok folks, the winter tweaking season is here. Where is the best place to pick up front and rear sway bars? I found some on Performance online but it doesn't say if it'll work with lowered suspension

Tim,

Those should work. The main bar attaches to the axle and the links will attach to the frame at the outer ends of the bar. The dropped axles are "dropped" beyond those links and should not effect the bar. Even with air bagged suspensions, as the suspension cycles the bar will rotate in the bushings.

You probably remember how I did mine in my build thread. I only did the rear and the only issue I was concerned about was the sway bar going up and over the axle pumpkin/carrier housing. With the dropped suspension I feared the bed floor was close to the sway bar.

It is possible the bend in the one you're looking at may not go up and over the housing, which may work fine as it is, along with the mounting kit.

Good luck, Jim

A lot of suburbans came with sway bars from the factory that would bolt right on a pickup.

sway bars don't care how they mount or where they're mounted to
axle mounted with links to the frame or frame mounted with links to the axle
you can also heat the short arms red hot and bend them up/down or in/out
in essence find one that fits close and adapt it to your use

I just heard back from performance inline and these will both work on dropped axle trucks
