Most lift kit companies sell a sway bar bracket drop kit to compensate for the lift. Just one of the little "extras" that don’t come with lift kits. You could make your own spacers too. The ones they sell I believe are aluminum. Basically just a block with 2 holes in it, and long bolts. Superlift sells the brackets, as well as Rancho. ~Chuck www.chuckschevytruckpages.com Check out my 73-87 Chevy Truck pages, all C/K models, lots of tech.Links. www.chuckschevytruckpages.com <A HREF="http://www.chuckschevytruckpages.com">Chuck’s Chevy Truck Pages</A>

Hi. all. I just put a 6in lift in my ‘79 3/4ton Chevy 4×4.  The front swaybar is now too short.   By quite a bit.   The easiest thing to do is just not put it back on the truck.   I haven’t driven it yet  so I don’t know if there would be too much body roll while cornering or not.   Anyone have any ideas on this?  Also, I haven’t tried to put the front driveshaft back in yet.   Does anyone know if it will be long enough??   I’m running a TH350/NP203.   Thanks—-JH
