Swaybar help

Another question.....If I lower my truck with 2.5 drop spindles and 3 inch coils in the front and lower it 6-7 inches out back will it be too low to add sway bars?

Re: Swaybar help

No.

Just use either the brackets for lowered trucks (CPP or ECE sell them) or even bolt the swaybar directly to the frame without brackets at all.

Reference the FAQ article I wrote years ago called "Swaybar FAQ".

Re: Swaybar help

Thank you. I figured it could be done I just wanted to be sure before I start ordering parts.

Re: Swaybar help

That was a great write up Tex, thanks.

I will be scouring the junkyards for a sway bar.

Re: Swaybar help

It's been over 10 years since I did that thread. I wish it wasn't so hard to find because it seems to help a lot of folks. I'm sure the prices aren't accurate anymore, but I did confirm recently that the part numbers are still valid and available from your GM dealer parts counter.
