I have a question that has been bugging me for a while. I installed a 3/5 kit about six months ago and I have never been happy with the way the sway bar is sitting. I am not sure if I have something wrong but in order to get the sway bar to clear the panhard I had to put the driver's side bracket pretty much in the bend of the sway bar. Are the sway bar bracket's supposed to be relocated? Even with the adjustment the sway bar still scrapes the outside of the panhard...... just been on my mind and thought I'd ask.......

Grocery Getter, I do know for those types of low drops there are panhard bar relocators/end links to helo clearance, or atleast thats how it is on the 07-Up. Tim will tune in soon to confirm though.....

Yes, it comes with sway bar end links that move the sway bar to the passenger's side a few inches to clear the panhard. My issue is that the sway bar brackets are positioned as such that when you scoot the sway bar toward the passengers side the curve in the driver's side sway bar is essentially now located in the bracket. It just doesn't seem right. I am thinking that maybe the bracket needs to be moved over on the frame........ I mean it works but just seems sloppy.

The driver's side axle bracket must move over a few inches. You will need to drill a couple of holes and use different hardware...
