Question Sway bars with Curries?

I'm running VP Curries front & rear, and I'm trying to figure out a way to mount the Axial sway bars. Here's the problem: Normally, they'd attach at the axle, via the shock mount bolt, just inboard of the mount. On the stock axles, there's just enough clearance between the pumpkin & the shock mount for it all to work. On the Curries, there's just not enough space. I know the easy thing is just to leave them off, but this is going to be an Ultra4 rig, so they will be a necessary piece of equipment to have figured out.

Anyone else run into this before? Creative solutions?

You bet its possible. When I swapped over from my VP AR60 housings I ran into this issue aswell.

I found some different balls for the lower mount. They are threaded. I put these on with a bit of Loctite and did away with the nuts. If you look closely, you can see a hex shape in one end of the ball. You may need to find a shorter screw to use so you can get a hex driver in the ball.
