Sway Bars?

[Dune_Goon]

Does anyone know of, or have a set of sway bars for a first gen? Mine get's rock'n real bad on the freeway and needs a set of sway bars. Where can I buy um? Anyone have a set or just one that they want to get rid of? It's for a 1972 GMC Jimmy, 4x4, 350x350xNP203

i don;t think our gen came with sway bars. I modified one to fit from a 2nd get blazer. get the 1-1/4" sway bar. It's not that bad of a adaptation. there are some people who have done this I used the 2nd gen frame brackets but i had to swap them(put the left on the right and the right on the left). Steve Chin fabed his own brackets, i think he has some pics. Burt4x4 has an aftermarket swaybar. I can send you some pics if you want just let me know.

Yup I think it is Addco brand. duno if I spelled that right? I bought it back in 95ish so can't remember realy what I paid. I had to dril two holes per side into the bottom of the frame rail and the bottom of the sway bar bolts to the spring pack. Well I have 5" disconnects inbetween the bar and springpack to keep the bar level. I would get one probly cheaper to just fab the second gen bar and you can get disconnects too!!

Using Gen2 brackets, did you have to pull the front crossmember? I am gettting a complete Gen2 front crossmember, for the brackets, but am considering just replacing the stocker crossmember. You have any pics of your install? Any ideas? Thanks

Check my web site for some pix of my installation:

I'm also using a Gen2 front bar. The Blazer now corners flatter, but it is tight, so I am looking for a good design of rear bar (not finding one). If I don't find one in a reasonable amount of time, I will probably fab up my own rear bar.
