    so i have been searching around trying to figure out how to add a rear swaybar to the '77, im betting i could eliminate the need for one with stiff shocks and messing with different bushings on the leafs but i figured i'd ask if anyone set one up on here>?

    If you can make some simple mounts, I used the rear sway bar out of a 2001 Audi S4. It fit just the way I needed it too, and comes in 4 different sizes.

    I found a rear sway bar kit for my truck about 20 years ago. I believe it was made by Sway-Away. Complete with urethane bushings and they attach to the leaf spring just in front of the rear axle.
    I'm not too sure if it is still made, but you can do a search or look on any of the auction sites.

    Let us know what you find!!!
