Default I need pictures of Hotchkis sway bars on a NBS, dropped truck

Like stated, I need to see some pictures of rear Hotchkis sway bars on a 2wd/NBS/Lowered truck.

I'm wanting to see where they bolt up... Possibly they will fit with my 4 link setup and I could just buy the front/rear kit...

If you have pictures, please post them. Thank you.

Why are your tires so small. LOL
Hey, maybe you could tell me where the ends bolt on to. If they hook on to the leaf springs in some way, this is a no go.

Also... The sway bar is mounted infront of the axle or is it behind it? My coil overs are on the rear sooooo. I need to know.

The rear bar attaches to the rear axle next to the shock mounts. The bracket (centerline of the "dogbone" bolt) attaches to the frame roughly 16" ahead of the centerline of the axle. (These are pictures of a standard height truck, on a lowered truck the dogbones are shorter)

The kit then that you purchase must meet the drop that you are using? Different dogbones for different drops or what?
