I was just thinking this! You think this will replace the operation of the sway bar?


Big hammer won't work.

Dewster, I actually think the tweaking of the sway bar will work, it won;t look pretty but it should work. I'd heat it up with the torches just a bit...and then wail on it a little and it should clear the cover.

Anywho....that is a damn nice setup you got there..

That sucks. I'm in for tweaking the bar. And no, the brace kit won't do the job of the sway bar.
