Thanks alot

Looks like a fabricated piece to me. Steel arm welded to a cap on the end of the sway bar.

I'm not sure how the cap is attached to the arm. Maybe just some sort of set screw.

Josh,

I'd say that is a custom piece. With your skills, you can make them easy. Start with run of the mill arms, steel or alum. that are already splined. Then change them how you see fit. It is probably cheaper to buy mass produced arms and cut them up than to have custom splines cut. You can do it!

Good point on the mass produced arms. I like saving money even though i am not good at it . Have you thought about how thick and size of bar you are going to run for your truck? Speaking of truck have you got any more done on it? Talk to you soon.

Since we used the Morrison IFS and Triangulated 4 Link, we are going to use the bars they provide. I don't know the sizes off the top of my head. They are closer to factory style mounts which I am not fond of, but they seem to work well. We will see, they definately are not as trick as the splined stuff. We are actually geting closed making some sparks again. We just dropped some square tubing off at a neighbor for him to make our cab mounts. He has a bigger band saw and mill so it will be easier for him. When we get them back, we are going to set the cab on the chassis and get moving again.

Are you going to use a rear sway bar? Since i went with a trianglated 4 link my roll center is on the higher side so a rear sway bar isn't as important as the front but was just curious if others are using them. I am hoping by next week i can finally show some pics of what i have been working on. For some reason i have been waiting to show pics until i get the frame off the frame jig and next week is the big week . The frame won't be 100% but at least it will be a roller.

I am using a rear bar. It is small however. I want to be able to run fairly soft springs for handling and comfort, but I also want to limit roll. Right now we are using the bar and springs Morrison supplied. I won't know if it is right until we start driving. I can't wait to see your new chassis. How bout some insider info? You can e-mail some preview pictures to [email protected].

Chad,
Sent you an email but just a heads up that my garage is a mess and the pics aren't the best.
