Thanks buddy!

The bar is a 73+ bar, the PO installed it with the front cross member out of a 73+ truck as well. The spring plates are 73 as far as I can tell. The crossmember bolts right in, I shimmed it with some thick washers so that it fit tight where the old crossmember was at. The rear is an addco swaybar. I can't remember the part number. It was listed as fitting a 2wd or 4wd truck. With a lift you have make mounts that fit on the rear axle plates that raise the sway bar up so that it is level... otherwise it binds when the axle springs compress. Oh, and if you have the original rear spring square U-bolt set up you will have to change that to a round U-bolt and top plate.
