You have three choices on how to mount the factory sway bar. You can use the factory bushing clamp stands, short stands from ECE, or no stands at all. The "correct" way depends on how much your truck is lowered.

If your running a 1"-3" drop the stock stands are fine. If you have 4" or more your going to want the ECE short stands. If your 5"+ you should probably go with no stands at all, but that depends on the bar angle at ride height.
