Jon,

Have a couple of follow-up questions, on how you installed your front sway bar (SB) front brackets. Looks like you used the cross member with brackets from the 88 Sub.?

Do think the positioning ( relationship of vertical rear and front mounting points) of the SB in the 4X4 '88 Sub is the same or similar to a '78 truck. Question relates to the angle at which SB is in relationship to the axle. Hoping to avoid binding as it moves thru suspension travel.

Also, any effect on where front SB brackets, mount length wise in frame, any change from using the newer long springs and spring mounting brackets, and conversion from 2 WD to 4WD. Asking as I am thinking of usimg original cross member and adding brackets from '78 (will need a few mods to fit).

My build is '64K10 long bed and installing newer K10 '78 front axle and steering.

Researching/trying to see if the front SB bracket from '78 cross member will fit '64 cross member. It may need some small mods and addition of a short strap.

Photo below showing where thinking of installing bracket, will cut slot so it can slide onto lower frame rail.
