Are sway bar brackets a must at stock height?

[chevymotocross]

I got an 87 2wd swb silverado. I just ordered a Belltech front sway bar. The truck did not come from the factory with a sway bar and therefore has no sway bar brackets.

I notice those running sway bars on lowered trucks with the sway bar bolted directly to the frame. My truck is at stock height, when I do lower it, it will just be a mild drop with only spindles up front, so the suspension geometry won't change anyways.

Should I buy the factory brackets or will I be safe bolting the sway bar directly to the frame like you lowered truck folks have done?

I hope to see some handling improvements. I have never experienced what a sway bar is like since i have never owned a truck that had one!

I don't know for sure, but it might be too much of an angle that could cause binding. You might want to mock them up and see how it looks.

I'm definetly going to need the brackets. I wish the Belltech kit came with them. Reading an article about the Custom Classic Products (CPP) sway bar kit for our trucks, their kit comes with the brackets included.

LMC has the brackets at $17 a piece plus shipping. I was told oem brackets are still available at the Dealer. My local dealer can't seem to look them up. Anyone have a part number?
