The Ridetech bar was a small diameter than described (basic 1.125" mustang swaybar). The posi links only have a 2500# load rating, but it should be ok, hopefully they get loose or crack before failure. I can always install larger ones or 1/2" heim joints at a later date.

I am going to cut off the end of the swaybar and add some collars to make it adjustable and increase the rate. By mounting the link to the upper arm it looks like I can get at least a .64 motion ratio and about a 440lb/in wheel rate.

If this bar is not stiff enough, I am going to cut up my 1" bar and weld or braze in a 1.375 x .188" wall chromemoly tube to replace the center.
