b'TECH TIP PAGE Mounting rear Sway Bar KitSPlease read the Mounting Front Sway Bars on the previous two pages first.There are only a few variations when mounting rear sway bars compared to front sway bars.Packaging can be tough!Rear Examples: 1.Thru the frame with the arms on the outside. We do this in our rear frame rail kits (Red Circle).Our frame rails come pre-laser cut with the sway bar tube holes already in the right location.We run a 1.75 OD x .065 wall DOM tube through the frame rails, leaving 1/4" of tube sticking out on each side.This helps keep it round when welded, so the bushing goes in easier.2.Placing the sway bar mount tube on top of an existing crossmember (Watts Link & Shock Mount in this Green Rectangle example) and running the arms forward toward (or even over) the axle tubes & running the links down from the arms to brackets on the axle tubes (either in front, top or behind the axle tubes.) 3.Mounting the Sway Bar tube with angled struts inside the frame rails (Blue Circle), placing the sway bar tube just below the frame rails.Then running the arms forward toward (or even under) the axle tubes & running the links up from the arms to brackets on the axle tubes (either in front, bottom or behind the axle tubes.) 4.Welding the sway bar tube to the axle tubes with struts & welding the tube to bottom of the pumpkin housing (Purple Oval).Run the arms forward & under the axle tubes with the links going up from the arms to mounts on the side of the frame rails.Acts as a stiffener for the rear axle housing & gets the sway bar low.But this method does increase unspring weight, which I am not a fan of. 5.Of course almost all factory & aftermarket tubular sway bars for the rear bolt to the housing & run links to the frame rails. Note:While we can make almost any arm arrangement achieve the sway bar rates we wantyou get finer tuning changes with the long arms if you can package them in your rear suspension.101'
