[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 226623, member: 412"] Did some work on this thing this week... Rebuilt the airshocks and added some of Sway A Way's Shock Shaft Bumpers while they were apart. Added 1oz more oil than factory levels and left the shims alone for now. Going to start the air at the 200psi factory level and go from there. Wanted to start with a clean slate before really tuning the guts of these things. However now that I know how easily they break down I will be more motivated/less intimidated at tuning them one afternoon. Sway Bar Fab - 4wd mini truck torsion bar that has been cut and sleeved with 1" 1/8 wall tubing. Sleeves welded just inside the splines to fit the 1" bore Energy Suspension bushings. 2" x 1/2" Cold Rolled for the arms. 5/8ths heims connected by a 16" circle track car tie rod for the links to the axles.

[IMG]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/8158/swaybarfinished.jpg[/IMG] Skinned the back of the tubing with an old 3rd Gen SR5 tailgate that was in the scrap pile.
