Sway bar orientation during install
So here is the dilemma now. So sway bar is on. Link tight. I figure I’d finish front and drop on tires. Sway bar itself will hit kicker bars if I try to install. Something isn’t right here. it if I flip sway it hits the driveshaft above when unsprung on jacks. May not hit with the weight on the...- ValleyTahoe

Sway bar orientation during install

Sway bar orientation during install
Thanks for the response def tricky. I just believe when I get the weight back on the tires that the bar in the center section is going to be pointing straight downward. If I start with bar flipped the hump is higher off weight and upon dropping back on the wheels the hump should sit sngled lower...- ValleyTahoe

Sway bar orientation during install
Yeh lol. Knew that was coming. Got new hoses and calipers are being refinished. Even worse in the picture the hose is behind the bar and you cant even attach caliper hahaha jokes on me. The more I look at it I belive the bar is the wrong way. The way it currently is if you put tires and weight...- ValleyTahoe

Sway bar orientation during install
I removed my calipers, brake lines and sway bar/bushings then painted my bar during my RC 7.5 lift. I'm not 100% the bar is flipped correctly. I believe I have it on correct but keep doubting myself. The hump in the center of the bar is hanging down when the vehicle is on jack stands. I've tried...- ValleyTahoe

What is a direct swap for my 08 5.3 LMG?
My 5.3 has 90k and is doing well but just doesnt have the power I'm looking for with 35in tires and 7.5 lift. I'm going to regear soon which will help but I'd also like to get a cheap direct swap junkyard motor and build on the side. I'd like to build the engine a little maybe heads cam and rods...- ValleyTahoe
