I could not take the looks of the front sway bar “block” anymore so I changed it.
Cut the factory bracket off at the base. Dropped the rear of the front sway bar down until all mounting points were level. Measured the gap and cut a piece of ½ ID pipe (your choice) and welded together.
So far the modification has seen 2000 miles of all types of driving and looks like it will last or at least it has not broke yet. I do believe everything can break under right/wrong condition. My hopes are that during my up coming knuckle project (thanks CDan) I will also fab up quick disconnects for the front sway bar eliminating stressful conditions during 4wheeling. See any problems?
Standard disclaimer: Front-end modifications can kill you so I’m not saying to do this. I’m just sharing what I did.
