Factory sway bar for 4WD with leaf spring - need help, pictures

Need help from the square body forum,

Have a 72 Jimmy. Want to add a front sway bar. Have researched and it looks like a 73-87 factory sway bar will work. But need the factory leaf spring perches too for mounting the back ends of the sway bar.

But might need the front crossmember too to mount the front of the sway bar.
But not thrilled about removing the current 67-72 front cross member because it has the large factory rivets. Doing the work to remove the rivets not an issue for me. Don't want to replace that tight riveted joints with bolted joints.

Looking at different ways to mount the front of the sway bar. Make a custom brackets to mount to the current crossmember?
Possible to use part of the 73-83 crossmember and weld it to the current cross member?

Would really appreciate if some forum members with front factory sway bars on their 4x4 s with leaf springs would post some pictures of the mounting of the sway, especially the mounting of the front of the sway bar to the crosss member.

Would really appreciate the help, pictures.

Terry
