Im current not running a sway bar due to the stock one hitting the inside of my rims. Does any one know how to get around this.

Custom bar?

I can always do that. I'm looking for a more tried and true method. Let some one else do all the r&d other than me.

Hey Rob, I'm guessing we are talking about the front one?
If it needs a small amount to be narrowed, I would find someone with a torch and bend it.
Better to bend it cold if you can.
If it is a lot (2-4"), then take a section out of the center, slide a sleeve over one half, lay it flat and weld the halves back together, slide the sleeve over the weld and weld it in place.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] border="0" alt="Welding" title="Welding" />
This is going to make the sway bar weaker BTW but it might work.
Maybe Troy or Kevin can add to this.

i thought there is a narrowed sway bar available on the market for narrowed beams. not to sure about the cutting and welding idea jerry as you said making it week or possibly breaking. i don't think that i would do that. i will see if i can find more info on the narrowed sway bar.

hey rob look at your latest issue of HVW page 14 i think you have some contacts with this vendor lol. narrowed sway bar $64.95

Lol. Yea we have a good relationship, they LOVE me. The problrm is the way they clamp to the control arm they rubs the inside of my 17" rims when it turns.

have you tried to bend the end of the sway bar to turn the clamp location inboard more? just a thought.

I have done a lot of changing to the suspension since I tried to put the sway bars on last. I know for sure I need those narrowed ones. I'm going to call my girl Mary Ann at CB and chat with her. That last drive in the rain convinced my I need to put that thing back on.

hey guys, i know that this thread has been here so long.

I like the idea of a custom kit other than purchasing sway bar kits (really depends on your taste).
If you have finished the mod is it possible to see pics of it? thanks!

Kevin, what I did was get a 3/4 " sway bar narrowed 2". This caused my right rim to rub the bar when I turned left. I put a 8mm wheel spacer on the right front only and that solved the issues. Good luck. If I can help let me know.
