Re: 1959 GMC Fleet - 2wd to 4wd

I have to fabricate my front sway bar frame mounting points on the 59 Fleet. I have a 1.25" sway bar from a 1984 K10 along with the correct mounting caps on the leaf springs.


Question:
The suspension with weight rest on the springs, are the frame mount caps at the same level as the leaf cap sway bar bolt mount points?


I looked for pics on the web, my chiltons, and my haynes all had no pics I could use to determine. A pic would be nice with findings.

I know 4wheel retail sites sell front mount drop kits if you raise a stock 4wd. Also a raise kit for dropped 2wd. But I am not sure of the starting point.

And yes I still have to raise the rear 4 inches to level it with the front.
