Will the sway bar fit around a 14b? If so would this fit a lifted 3/4 ton?

After a few weeks I finally got mine installed today. Decided to bolt mine on rather than weld anything to the frame.

I used the flat band u bolts from Summit Racing, both the u bolt and the seat are much larger than the typical parts store exhaust clamp.

The stock sway bar bushing bracket was too narrow to fit the u bolt so I used the Energy Suspension kit that came with the parts to rebuild the links also.

on a scale of 1-10 Id give this a solid 10 for suspension mods!
