Thanks for the pics. Are those bolted directly to the frame, or is ther another bracket? I am installing one on a truck that never had asway bar and I want to make sure I have everything I ned before I climb under there in the 111 degre heat

The brackets that actual sway bar bolts to has to be added to your truck. To do this you have to drill out the rivet thats in your front crossmember and bolt up the bracket there and to another existing hole in the frame. Other than the rivet its pretty much bolt on as is.

Ok I have the sway bar with the 4 bushings and the c brackets that hold the bushings on. So there are 2 more brackets that go to the frame that 2 of the c brackets will clamp the the bushings too? If this is true, I need those 2 brackets. Any idea where I can get those? Thanks

You will need four rubber bushings and four metal bushing brackets. Make sure your lower A-arms are pre drilled to accept the bushing brackets. As Low69CST stated, you will have to remove the cross member rivits and replace with the bushing bolts.

ok I have all that, but it looks like that the middle c brackets are bolted to another bracket that goes to the frame. If this is not alreay on the truck, I ned these 2 brackets.

Heres the bracket. I know you can get it from early classic. They claim if you lower your truck you need to get a shorter one. But I don't think thats neccacary. I think a few other places might have them too. Well, it won't let me post the pic, but hang on, i'll get it on here.

I know you can get those brackets from Early Classic, you may be able to get them from other venders too.
