Didn't you also buy the longer front mount torsion bars. Use that in the rear then add a spacer on each side. That's what I did and that's my F-Bomber in the pic above. If you don't like the little bit of extra that sticks out of the arms, file them flush. Voila!

| Re: DLux sway bar install?
I see. Did not know that is what you did. I will play around with it tonight. Need to find some spacer material. At least I know I am not alone and/or not a moron....well maybe still a moron. It would be nice if it fit without modification since the website advertises rear mounting capability and I paid extra for what I thought was a correctly sized rear sway bar (I actually paid extra for 2 rear and 2 front bars with different dia). Lesson learned I guess... Thanks again Screamer! Last edited by Drm31078; 04-22-2016 at 11:23 AM. |

Use the longer bar you got for forward mount. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I believe it's not for the front front. I believe it's still for the rear but if you mounted the bar in the forward location towards the center of the chassis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Why did I specifically pay for front and rear bars, as specified by their website, if I only should by the front and have to modify it myself to fit the back along with coming up with my own spacers for the back (spacers provided will be too short with longer bar resulting in slop)

See earlier post. Per DLux, Short is for rear and long is for front (middle rear).

At the end of the day we are talking about a couple bucks of wasted money. I am over it. I will figure it out and make something up to fit. It's more the premise of not getting what you paid for that is frustrating. Mods, delete this thread. No real added value here. |

Looking at my sway bar I see you have the step facing out where the bar goes in. Maybe if you flip it so the step is facing inward, you will get enough space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
