Swaybar mod
Well for awhile now, I've noticed that my swaybar disconnects were rubbing the coil springs so it was time for another solution!
After cutting about 3" off the swaybar ends, (this moves the new mount point forward)
I then welded the RC disco brackets directly to the bar.
(I also welded on the backside for more strength, there is a slot there)
The one on the driver side ended up cattywampus, but its just a tight fit now no big deal.
And there we go, no more clearance issues:
I would recommend some magnets to help hold stuff like this before burning it in, and lay it out on a flat surface so you can see what your doing.
this is so it doesn't get all sideways. I didn't have anything, and was in a hurry so I just "eyeballed" it.

Its solid now and really "feels" like its doing its job.
It would probably feel even stiffer if I added poly bushings but I hear those squeak horribly.
