Big wig mounts like the OEM

[Zmann]

their site is down right now but normally you can download the install directions to see what might interfere

I am sure it would be the same as a F350 DRW right?
Mine mounted just like the stock one.

 

[Zmann]

not sure ? the bar is not the same part # and the axle is different so ?

the pdf link i gave him has a picture

 

[BIG JUICE]

It is not the same.

 

[tbsimmons]

What's different about it. I thought the axle was the same just different widths.

F 350 DRW = Dana 80 different tube dimensions than the F 250/350 SRW Sterling / Visteon 10.5

Correct but the sway bar mounts in the same location as the factory one. Don't know if mounting locations are the same on a SRW as a DRW. I given the factory swaybar to my friend that has '15 F250 but he hasn't picked it up...he's attached to a ball & chain and needs permission. So I can't say if the sway bar is the same on a SRW.

I didn't do the front sway bar yet, just the rear.

assuming the BigWig link I provided earlier is for the right bar ( 2011- no cut off date provided so ? ) it looks completely different ?

That looks like for one that didn't have a stock one.
Looks like you have the threaded holes in the bottom shock mounts for one. I wonder if it's has to do with stiffness of the bar since more bends up and down.
I knew the diff was different just thought dimensions were the same just the length of the tubes.

The rear bar is its own thing. It comes with all mounting hardware and doesn't use anything stock. The last pic posted is correct for an SRW and he has it set of the stiffest setting.

I don't know if it helps or hinders but we have a 2016 f350 DRW and the rear sway bar is mounted above the pinion, in front of the diff whereas my 2012 is mounted under and behind the diff

My old ass truck here is in front and up/over the pinion. It works great. Id emulate that for the rear.

The front I have no gd idea so Ill stick with no input in that.

One parting shot: how bad can the front be in any 05+ coil spring front? Should be pretty ***kin rad out if the box.

If that's true, then it would hinder dual exhaust kits. Oh well, I'll stick with my stock sway bar.
