Same price around here, about $45. Just make sure they put it on top of the axle. I heard on here of installers putting them on under the axle and it will go on that way, but rubs the housing. I got home and mine was on wrong too  You can do it yourself, it`s not hard. E. Long has some pics in his photo album under Hellwig Sway Bar & shock install. While your at it change the front sway bar bushings to Polyurathane from Energy Suspensions. Auto Zone has them or can get them for $19.95. They will tighten up the front . Easy to change

Found Part #`s for front Bushings. Energy Suspensions part # 4.5180GX. The stock sway bar is 36mm or 1 27/64" Dia. and they only come in black. They really help tighten up the front end. Know you need better shocks and Land Yot`s custom bars and you`ll be set.

Thanks again MONGO and John Boy. I have already replaced my front bushings with the energy suspension polyurathane. I was amazed how soft the ford bushings were compared to the energy suspension. It was an easy install with air tools and there was a big improvement in the "feel" of the front suspension. I am going to order a rear anti sway bar, and have not decided on who is going to install it yet.
It will have to wait untill the tranny shift kit is installed anyway, that is tomorrow  oh yea baby
Thanks

Mango, did you also replace the front sway bar end link bushings with the poly? Top and bottom? It seems like a good idea, what do you think? |

Sorry Mongo for the typo. Take care of the back as god only gives us one. I think I will measure the bushing sizes and see if some universal pieces will fit. They need tightening every once in awhile. I bet its due to wear on the rubber bushing that would be cured with polyurethane. |
