Ok, I was giving these drop blocks for the swaybar by a member here that i bought the ORD discos from. So I gave them to my buddy, who has a 4 inch lift, and yesterday we tried to get the to work but we couldn`t get the mounts to line back up, and from the looks of it, it actually looks like it will bind it up even more:confused:

These are the blocks here..
 
my drop brackets are angled with offset holes. moves the bar down and back to compensate. Those are totally differant.

got any pics?
 
for everything to line up you either need ones that move the sway bar back or drop it the same amount as the lift. the problem is that GM should have put some type of endlink on the swaybar. your springs have shackles so that the springs can lengthen as they are compressed. the sway bar needs something too. As the spring compresses the sway bar will keep the spring and axle from moving backwards causing bind. throw the blocks away and get another set of disco's or ditch the swaybar.
 
yes, but unfortunately they are at home and I am not. I'll try to find a pick where I bought them.

ok, I doubt that he`ll ditch the swaybar. I`ll see what he wants to do...
 
4 pieces of stock with holes drilled , some extra bushings , and a couple through bolts , Copy the disco kit kinda that way . Hell you could use some hitch pins on the bolts instead of nuts .

I would find the discos myself . Easier that way .
