Front sway bar install

Today I installed the front sway bar. It is FSBK6372 from POL. I bought the front and rear in a kit. Nice looking bar, I can see it making a difference.

What is the purpose of using the sway bar frame stand off bracket vs just attaching the mount to the frame?

Re: Front sway bar install
I don’t know for sure, but this bar from POL was designed to mount on frame. I’m guessing the bar is contoured so it can be mounted like that. Maybe the bars that use the mounting bracket are straighter. I noticed some sway bar kits have short and tall mounts in case your truck has been lowered.

Nice looking, need one for my 67 3/4 2wd.

Re: Front sway bar install
IMHO adding a 1 1/8 front sway bar vs none make a big improvement in handling (body roll). My 72 did not come with one so I installed the one I got from LMC

Go Canada....
The first stabilizer bar patent was awarded to Canadian inventor Stephen Coleman of Fredericton, New Brunswick on April 22, 1919.[1][2] |
Re: Front sway bar install
Drove my 68 C20 for years without a bar, then one came up on a truck my son-in-law was parting out. I installed it--all factory parts--made a huge difference driving the mountain roads I live in. Night and day difference

Re: Front sway bar install
It’ll be the difference between night and day.
I put mine on many years ago, and was immediately satisfied with the way it firmed up everything. I got mine from an old salvage yard frame in NC. I got it for a steal but had to put in the “Sweat Equity” by removing the perches by hand. (I used a little saws all, a chisel, a 4lbs sledge, and a pry bar, to cut the factory rivets) Mid-July heat in Fayetteville NC is no joke.:lol: |

Years ago I put a front bar on and couldn’t believe the difference. Now years later I have Full QA1 Suspension front and rear. Rides Great, Handles like a Go Cart. Love it

I went with 2" drop spindles and 650# springs on the front with dual adjustable shocks. What settings are you running on the shock adjustments? I know it may take some "dialing in" .....just looking for a starting point for the best all around ride/handling settings. I'm running an all aluminum LS1 so it's about 100# lighter in the front than a standard small block. |

I also added a rear sway bar, the difference with both is unbelievable. The truck maneuvers much better. |

And #750 springs (recommended by QA). Im at 6 in the front and 4 in the rear Nice thing is if you don’t like it you have 18 adjustment points that can be made in a matter of minutes |

These pictures help. The directions included from POL aren't that helpful. Was trying to figure out how the 'L' bracket was going on to the front Arm. Do you have any pics of the rear installed? |

When I picked them up at POL, the salesman told me that would be the position. Just checking in with someone who has installed them. |
