Finally had time to do my sway bars. FYI, when working with suspension components, it is NOT the time to try your new air ratchet. The clip bolts are not the easiest bolt to re-build.

On another note, SNAP-ON makes an amazingly bada** Air Ratchet. Puts out a whole lot more torque than any other Air Ratchet I have ever had.

Sway bars are great too, worth the money.

Agreed on the air ratch on rear bar clip nuts. Definitely warrants caution not to damage them.

Did you get the solid or hollow rear bar (#2271)? I found my hollow 1-1/8" rear bar rubbed the exhaust loop.

Solid. I put the rear on probably a month ago now, just did the front today. I did not notice any rubbing issues in the back, but honestly have not looked. Im a good bit lowered so it probably would not be a bad idea to check.

I think the hollow bar is different, makes a bigger loop around the diff center section. Never a bad idea to check.

No telling, parts these days do not ever seem to fit right. Everything, no matter what the company.
