Got my SS sways installed. They are awesome! Love the way the truck handles now:top:Oh, and great service from XII Performance...had my bars within 2 days of ordering.
Those front end-link bushings are a pain in the ass to install but I tried something I hadn’t seen mentioned in the forums (correct me if I’m wrong) that made it a lot easier.
First I slid the the lower end-link bushings on both sides of the truck onto the end-link studs and then set the sway bar ends over the end-link studs. Once I finished that I mounted the sway bar center bushings and tightened the brackets down. Then I used a floor jack and lifted one side of the truck enough to get the front wheel off the ground. Doing this forced the sway bar to push down on the opposite side lower end-link bushing. This gave me enough space on the stud to place the upper end-link bushing and hat into place and then get the nut started on the threads. I tightened the nut down and then switched the jack around and repeated the process.
Also, does anyone know what the best email address is to reach Gadget. I emailed him Tuesday and he still has not responded.
