    Is anyone running a sway bar on the front with air bags?

    I dont think I have seen one...they attach to the LCA and seem like they would be really stressed to articulate that much between the frame and the LCA during lift travel.

    I've seen it done. There was a chassis at Slamfest setup for it too.

    I plan to get one on mine one of these days. Side-side would pretty much be out, but who cares, I rarely use it anyway.

    Not really planning on a lot of side to side. Wonder if I could play with the length of the bolts for clearance? I have my front blown apart now, I look at it this weekend.
    Litneon, how does yours do in corners? Does it lean?

    I had Quickior Engineering sway bars front & rear before dropping my truck,kept both while static dropped. Once bagged & going to tubular a-arms I had to remove the front, still run the rear one. I have to add side tabs to the a-arms & mock the bar up to have remade! Just haven't had time to do it!

    The owner of Quickior was still making bars in his garage last time I spoke with him ( a long time ago) , the front bar is 1 1/8'' thick chrome molly spring steel! The rear is 3/4'' same! :cool:

    There's a bit of body roll in high speed turns, but not much. Still, the sway bars, at least in the front are desirable.
