Re: front sway bars

I run them on both trucks.......I think they are great. Before they were installed I felt like I was going to scrape the chrome off the door handles.

Re: front sway bars

I put front and rears on from Early Classic Enterprises. Made a huge difference to me. I used theirs because the front one is 1 1/4". At the time, that was the largest one around. I don't know about now though.

Before I diaassembled my truck I installed one form Early Classic and it made a big difference. The kit comes with standard height brackets or if you perfer they also have brackets for lowered trucks.

Re: front sway bars

These posts reminded me....I have one from Early Classics and one from CPP. The E/C uses bushings on the a-arms, the CPP uses endlinks.....just for your info H/B Deluxe.

Re: front sway bars

Just the endlinks.....ECE was a factory set-up and the CPP used the links. I always think that putting them on will be easy, and it is, but Im always amazed at how much you end up wrestling with them.
