Sway bar hits
1 Attachment(s)
I put some extended links on finally after having my 3 inch lift for a while but now my sway bar hits the bumper tie in bolt head. Has anyone had this problem? Is there a wider sway bar I could use or something? Thanks in advance for all help

Mine is doing this same thing at stock height. I'm curious to see what solutions people have come up with.

What's the length of your sway bar link and what angle does your bar currently sit it?

I'd say like 9* on the sway bar and the link is ~8 inches long

They should be around 15 degrees. Is the sway bar even on both sides? Maybe you can replace that bolt with a carriage type bolt, if you find the right grade bolt sae grade 8 or metric 10.9.

how about something with an allen socket in a rounded head? I'm just trying to figure out something that will work

You might need an adjustable track bar. That one looks stock. Don't usually see this problem. I have a ton on room between my sway bar and the frame.
Depending on how big the hole is you could also run the bolt without a washer, shouldn't need one. |

I've got enough room to move my big hand around in there, probably about 2 inchs. I don't have bumper brackets, but there definitely should be room. Here is a picture sorry it's not the best.

I used grade 8 carriage bolts.

Never mind don't think rotating the links will work. I'm pretty sure something is wrong with either the links or the sway bar or something set up weird. Maybe try going back to factory links and/or getting some sway bar drop brackets or making your own.
