    I got my new sway bar out to compare it to the original and I noticed that the spacer that goes between the end link bushings is only about one and a half inch long. The spacer that came off the original is about 3 inches long. I am using 1 inch lowering coil springs. Will using the shorter spacer pull the front end down even more? Or does it even make any difference. I don`t have it all back together yet just needed some input. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Mine were shorter too but the bushings were bigger so overall the size was ok. Does that answer the question or did I totally misunderstand?

    ive always read that the arms on the sway bar are susposed to be paraelle with the controle arm at ride hight. now i dont undestant how you can accomplish this when the arms point different directions but thats the only directions ive ever see, and have seen many times
