    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    It's not that hard. Climb under truck and look. Think it's 6-8 bolts. If you can swap coil overs you can take that off with no instruction.

    2nd gen sway bars are a pita thus the write up.

    4 bolts, two nuts on studs that must be held with an allen key. A ratcheting box wrench makes it cake but it can be done with a normal one too. @JKO1998

    I didn't think it'd be too complicated. I just wanted to double check. Probably do it this weekend

    Anyone know if dropping the sway bar would help with the clunking noise I'm having? I know it's the sway bar because we took it off and the sound went away, I ordered new bushings along with new u bolts and steering bushings but I think putting some kind of home made drop on it would fix the noise..

    Are the intake plenum gaskets re useable? I've heard yes and no. Need to for sure since I plan on doing my valve cover gaskets this week

    just not sure how much I should drop it, doesnt seem like many people do this either, Ive seen relocation brackets but from what I've read those are only if you have large coils or something. Guess Ill drop it like 3/4" to start
