mounting front sway bar on lowered truck

Wondering how to install a front sway bar from 83 C10 on to a lowered 67 C10 frame but front cross member & control arms are all 83 C10. Anyone wanna give me the correct way? Thanks in advance.

Re: mounting front sway bar on lowered truck

You have three choices on how to mount the factory sway bar. You can use the factory bushing clamp stands, short stands from ECE, or no stands at all. The "correct" way depends on how much your truck is lowered.

If your running a 1"-3" drop the stock stands are fine. If you have 4" or more your going to want the ECE short stands. If your 5"+ you should probably go with no stands at all, but that depends on the bar angle at ride height.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
