No problems at all. Just worked where it needed to be and suitable angles and fixing points then fabbed it. Works well for me.stoney126 said:

Crossover steering and sway bar, what are my options?

i have skyjacker softrides up front, if I remember riht they are 52 but it's 3am and not thinking real clear 
If the sway were minimal I wouldnt worry about it but it is pretty severe and dont really thinks its road worthy without the sway bar.
I spoke with one of my instructors, he has a 72 blazer that odviously doesnt have sway bars. He says he has no problems with sway and he has an 8 inch lift on 35's. However he does use rancho 9000's as I am using procomp es3000's up front. wonder if that may aid me in the sway department.

I looked, but didn't see the post on pirate. The guy took a Toy torsion bar mounted sideway across the rear axle and had brackets that dropped down and attached to the axle.

this is what i was thinking...ditch the front, run one on the rear axle.
Qwik lesson on swaybars & handling traits. The axle with the stiffest swaybar will have the least traction. It's just the way it works. If the car is oversteering you add front swaybar rate or decrease rear swaybar rate. If the car is pushing you decrease front swaybar rate or increase rear swaybar rate.MattK said:
Going to a rear only swaybar is how Robby Gordon gets his desert truck to be so loose (throttle oversteer) in the dirt. It happens that his is cockpit engageable/disengageable. On the pavement the traction is better which will amplify the effects of the swaybar. The OE's always bias the handling towards understeer b/c that is easier to deal with. Takes an exceptionally skilled driver to prefer oversteer.
In other words, a rear bar only will result in really poor handling.
