hey guys i was wondering what your take is on this situation....my pickup had a sway bar when i bought it (obviously)...i bought ORD swaybar disconnects when i had my 10-bolt and saginaw steering...when i went to my dana 60 w/ my crossover i had to take out my sway bar becuse it was in the way of the draglink....i dindnt mind drivin like that for a while but yesterday while i was at walmart i was sitting still in the parking space and went to turn and noticed at popping sound...so i had my buddy jump out and look at the front while i turned the wheel....apparently when i turned the wheel (not goin anywhere) it pushes the axle AND SPRINGS (6" BDS springs w/ a Hill offroad extended shackle, also a zero rate) to the side before it actually starts to turn the tires (not to mention the ridiculous body roll when i turn when i am moving)....im thinkin it would be good to add a trac-bar (panhard bar) to allieviate this...but ive never seen it done on a pickup like mine (86 chevy longbed)...is there a reason...also i thought of tryin to figure out a way to put the swaybar back on w/out interfering w/ the x-over (also hysteer in a few days)...i thought mabey putting the sway bar on the opposite side (closed end under engine somewhere w/ the open end facing down and forward) but i dont know how well this would work...mabey also some links from the disconnect to the swaybar to mabey put the swaybar up higher ya know?....i dunno...if any of you are running a swaybar w/ your highsteer x-over, please let me know how you did (or would do) it and mabey some pictures....thanks a zillion....
