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! :)

How much work is the sway bar install?

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 (http://www.addco.net/install.shtml)...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.
