Rear sway bar install... need a bit of guidance

[SadbutTrue]

My dad and I just lined up the bar on the axle and there area few questions.

First, how do you get access to the frame rail so you can bolt the bar in place there?

Second, are there usually issues with the bar interfering with brakelines, exhaust pipes, etc? Looks like its pretty packed back there and I'm not sure how much the bar is going to move relative to anything else.

And of course, any other guidance is welcome. I have the addco sway bar from summit (jegs/npd/others carry it as well), and am trying to wrap it on a 9inch rear and not interfere with a standard flowmaster american thunder exhaust pipe system. Thanks

Did the bar come with instructions? I would check that first.

I just installed the Addco which was shipped with the Grab-a-track suspension kit. It is definetly tight in there. After I mounted mine, I realized diff will hit the bar before the rubber bump stop, so I think they sent me the wrong one.

Do you have the type that the bar attaches to the axle tubes and has the bend to go around the Differential? There is also the type that the ends attach to the springs and the bar is fixed to the frame.

There are instructions on some of the Kits on Summit site:

Mine was kinda easy I thought

I got the Addco 3/4 on the back, the one that ties onto the asle tubes, and you have to drill the frame rails to mount the ends. It was pretty simple compared to some of the other stuff so far.

Yeah I actually got it on without any issues, thanks though. Makes a huge difference stiffness-wise... makes the car feel bigger heh.
