    Thumbs up Finally installed the rear sway bar

    I was battling the snow and ice, since I wanted to do the job on Dad's lift. His drive is 1/4 mile up hill , so ice is a problem (btw he and Mom are safely in Florida!)
    So, today was the day!
    What a dramatic difference that bar makes!!!
    Flat cornering is mine!!! Sorry I waited so long.
    Now, where do I get poly bushings for the front bar?

    Nice, dude. Same situation, here. I'm just waiting for a slightly warmer day and for the roads to be completely dry and snow-free so I can do this mod and really appreciate it.

    Two things I hate about winter: waiting for spring training to start (Go Giants!) and waiting to install new toys on my ride!

    Sway bar install is cake, even if you have never done anything more than tire / oil changes.

    I too have been hunting for a front poly replacement bushing. Nothing vehicle specific, but there a match out there somewhere...I know it.

    I am giving serious consideration to the spring/sway-bar modification. I have read dozens of threads and from what I gather it's worth the money.

    Rich, thanks for posting your experience.

    Take Care

    Try Addco...they made Dennis's rear sway bar and have a selection of high performance urethane bushings for the midsections and end-links of just about every size front bar out there...

    Or just give Dennis a call. He knows the correct part#s for our applications and can supply the parts sometimes faster than the manufacturer.

    Did mine today and it is indeed a cake walk. Took me maybe 45 minutes total.
