$8 sway bar installed. Don't want to hear jack about my custom mounts, they'll do fine.

So go take a hairpin curve at 45 and let us know how it works. :insane:

I can't even see how it's mounted? Are they bolted to the shock mounts?

It almost appears to be clamped around the axle tubes.

3" muffler clamps.

Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's basically what the OEM's do now, they just have a little locating notch on the axle is all.

Man is that a dummy spare for your truck

sent by telegraph from my k30

Yeah, I like the fact that it doesn't hang under the bumper.

Installed this today. Got it for $10 along with another but the other didn't work (came from a flood car). Has auto-dim, compass, temperature, HomeLink and map lights.
