Quick question about sway bar

[mcdaniel1991]

So my lift kit arrived missing 1 sway bar extension. Would it be ok if i go ahead and instal the lift and just only bolt the sway bar up on 1 side till the extension comes in ( 2 weeks) i don't drive far or a lot i just want to put my new wheels on.

I would suggest not installing the sway bar at this time. Wait until your new links come in.

I hate to say don't worry about it but I can't see what it will hurt ?

it just wont torsion the sway bar when out of level


but then again whats the rush ? EDIT I see you don' t want to remove the sway bar because of the issue


I think one extended link and no other link is fine or wire it up with no links or take it off LOL

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Yea that was my thought. if i just wire it up or only bolt 1 side up it will keep it out of the way till the part comes in.

Or maybe i will just take the sway bar off till the part comes in.

Do i need an adjustable trac bar if i have a trac bar drop bracket ?

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Also my kit didn't come with a drop Pitman arm. Should I order one?

ya know you never mentioned what height lift LOL

the adjustable trac bar will be apparent if your front axle is off center then u would consider buying one
as far as the pitman arm IDK what lift u have ?

 

[mcdaniel1991]

lol....my bad Its a 4.5'' rough country lift.

 

[Zmann]

i don't think you will need a trac bar but just check it out when your done

it won't hurt to drive with the axle shifted a little

as far as the drop pitman IDK 4.5 may be the threshold for one was it an option ?

 

[mcdaniel1991]

No when i talked to them they told me i didn't need anything else with the lift but..I don't always trust a "complete Kit"..

 

[Zmann]

I think you will be ok
you may want to fine tune it with those parts but it will be drivable

they do anything about caster alignment with a 4.5?

My sway bar is laying in the scrap pile. And has been for years now.

 

[Zmann]

should sell
it lots of guys actually prefer having them
heck I have em front and rear

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Did you notice a difference when you put it on the rear? Cornering?

I have this long sweeping turn that I take in the mornings at 65mph and I definitely noticed the sway bar effect there

just make sure you put that rectangular spacer in the correct way and it should be fine. your steering wheel will be way off but there is one rod under there that adjusts that after.

 

[mcdaniel1991]

Would it be easier to just take off the pitman arm and adjust the steering that way!

 

[Zmann]

no it only goes in one position thanks to a wide locating spline

and needs a puller to remove it

use the collar on the drag link thats what it's for

OK damm that collar is a PITA

 

[Zmann]

it's not bad if u can find a tool to open the slit as you turn the collar
