    The rear springs/shackle extend past the rear of the truck? Or is that just a weird angle of the photo?

    I removed my sway bar, put it back on, and now it's stuck....Don't know how one nut seized up after less than a year

    It knew deep down that after removing it once, if you ever tried to take it off again it would be for good... The damn thing is hanging on for dear life!:devil:

    I reinstalled it just because I had to make multiple 5 hour drives. Tried to remove it for a wheeling trip and one damn nut was so stuck.

    I've been wrassling with this nut for a couple days now trying to avoid doing anything too drastic. Cutting through it with a dremel and getting penetrating fluid in through the cut seemed to do the trick.

    Just fyi, as long as one side is disconnected, the sway bar doesn't do anything. You don't need to take it completely off

    But there's nowhere to swing the end link out of the way and I wouldn't want it hanging loose down there.

    Rather just remove the entire thing. It only takes 5 minutes if you don't run into a stuck nut or bolt
