turns out my crossmember is slightly bent. i canot get the swaybar out. will need to pry it apart. times like this i wish i had a Port-A-Power

i cleaned off the clamps and found the spot welds/clamps

 

[Ash_Whole]

then i drilled them part way

i had to air chisel gently and still wouldn't come aprt like i thought it should. turns out the rubber is welded to the clamp and the middle. was a pain in the to remove the clamps and then the rubber itself.

on a side note i had a couple of plates made to box the lowers. yes i ripped off FF but saved a couple weeks and a couple bucks. the Canadian dollar sucks plus the shipping. easier top just go a couple of KM to the shop here

Your idea is sound, what gauge material are you using?

with all the bits off, time for the work on it. strange , the bars are mount differently. one is bolted, the other is pinned.

The one with the bolt in it is probably an aftermarket replacement, like Moog, so someone has been there before.
