Here's a couple pics... This sway bar would of worked with a steering box. The problem is when the rack slides out (while turning) it runs into the sway bar. The bar needs to have a little "S" in it to go lower than the boot (probably level with the A-Arm for travel) and then come back up to mount to the bolt.
I have a 5/7 drop (need to cut bump stop) but even with a 4/6 I think it would still have this problem with any travel like turning to go up a driveway etc..
