[QUOTE="the_white_shadow, post: 628098, member: 10112"] Sway bar is mounted. The bar flipped 180* didnt seem to help to match the angles of the bars so I went with what Scott said and mounted the lower arm on the passenger side to help combat the natural movement of the body when throttle is applied. The mount is further down on the axle tube but still uses a 16" end link like the drivers side.

Its a Griffin 26x15.5x3 and has LS inlet/outlet. Its going to be tight but I think I can fit it up front. I have about 3/8" of an inch clearance from the bottom of the radiator to the link mounts on the truss. I may limit the uptravel just a tad to ensure they play nice together. Ill probably lean it back some to keep it under the hood.
