    dont people usually remove the sway bar bracket when they remove the sway bar?

    also looks like you need some wool wax / fluid film

    It's always in the back of my mind

    The RCI brace sorta relies on the top and bottom for support. If I cut the top to fit I will be removing half its strength.

    Ran the bolts back in to keep rust out of the holes, plus they make for good washers for said bolts :D

    Nah, the fluid film is what all the dirt/clay is sticking too

    I didn't want to be the one to ask why they were still there. lol

    I used a swaybar relocation block at 1st. I still have the blocks and bolts on there to keep the holes plugged.

    Glad to see that I'm not the only who uses it on the riding lawn mower.


    If you can train it to pull winch cable, you should be able to train it to make coffee.

    Seriously

    I figured @CygnusX191 only took the swaybar off for photo opps.......then put it back on...
    Either that or it's where he hangs his trouble light while the truck is on jack stands. :ohsnap:

    I left the relocation shims in place. Doesn't look as ghetto as swaybar brackets. :rofl:

    I guess I can find some washers sitting around somewhere. But then I’d lose the light hanger functionality. Hmmm….so many choices to make.
