swaybar lowering

[dammit32]

I did a 4" Skyjacker lift about a month ago and was looking at my front end tonight and noticed there is quite a bit of strain on my sway bar when the truck is just sitting there.
Do they sell a lowering kit for this? I wonder why this issue wasn't adressed in my kit?


BTW...picked up my 35X12.5 SSR's today..Woohoo!!! HAD to tell someone lol /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

The bad news is ...I have to swap my axles to use them cause i bought 8 lug rims to go with my 3/4 ton axles(that are out in the barn)

A disconnect kit will relocate the the ends back up and give you the option to flex better with a pop of the pins. I've been thinking of making a relocation kit to help those with cross over steering to re-install a working swaybar without interference, kind of along the lowering lines you were thinking of.

superlift makes a kit to lower it as does some of the others. but I personaly would go with the ORD disco's for the option of removing the sway bar for wheeling.

DUDE!!! Straight up....Just remove the damn gay-bar...I mean sway bar... I have a 4" skyjacker and removed mine and I swear there is little to no difference in handling... /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Yep, Pull it off. Handles bumps much better.

I made some brackets of my own using a some 2"x3" square tube. Just lowered it 2" where it mounts to the frame.

You need to drop the swaybar.........on the ground and just leave it there. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Before you buy ANYTHING!!!! Unhook it and go down the road for a day or two. If you don't like it on the road, you'll LOVE it offroad. Buy the disco kit from Watson and be done.

Personally, I didn't give mine that much of a chance /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif I never bothered to put it back any where NEAR my truck. I will NEVER run it again. It rides MUCH better without and flexes 100x better offroad.

I'd like to see that, got pics? I'm getting ready to swap a set of 57" fords onto the front, yes front. But the flex is so nasty that I don't want to run swaybar-less on the street. My stiff rancho front springs make the sway bar a useless item uintil the 57" spring swap in the rear. The front 57's might let it fall over around a corner given the amount of high speed city street driving I do. Can you see see an open straight line from the back of the steering box to the top of the opposite kingpin with your swaybar lowered?

Gonna have to fall into line here...chuck the swaybar. You'll have to get rid of it anyway when you go to crossover steering and some 38's. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
