    So I just installed my fox 2.5 coil overs with resy, I only lifted the truck about 1.5 inches. I installed the skid plate spacers that are provided, but the skid plate isn’t a huge issue, my sway bar is like running on the frame, it’s basically right against it. My question is, other then removing the sway bar, if you guys had this issue how’d you deal with it?

    Is the sway bar centered left to right?

    Hmm I didn’t think about that, when I bolted it in I just figured it would be sitting the way it should be

    I dread the day that I have to reinstall my bar to take the truck to the dealer to trade.

    Yeah, it could potentially slide one way or another when it's off. I think it might actually center itself with some driving, but it would be better to do it manually. Hopefully it's that simple of a fix.

    The fox 2.5 kit comes with optional Radiator support bracket spacers and longer bolts.

    The location block/resi mount pushed the sway bar down and forward, hence the issue.

    The braces the bar is hitting are bolt-on. You can source spacers for the bolts.
