But hey function over form is always good.

I didn't have to bend the sway bar at all to install it on my truck. Maybe you meant bend the endlinks?

I thought about definately doing the brackets, but I didn't want to have to make shorter endlinks in order to do it, and with the brackets on the bottom with the stock tahoe endlinks, the bar would have been closer to the ground that I would have wanted. I will see if I can get some pics soon of it now that I turned the endlinks around.

That's what I did! I even put a hotchkiss sticker on there for extra bling effect.

Good luck, and PM me if you have any guestions.

I love the hotchkis sticker idea

. It is honestly really easy to do. It took me right about an hour to put it on after I had the u-clamps made. If you aren't making brackets, and are going to drill the frame you will need a 7/16" drill bit, and get a decent one, because it sucks to try to drill the frame with a crappy one.
