sway bars
Anyone with the DJM beams running an aftermarket swaybay. Could you tell much difference after beam install with swaybars.I was told after I put the beams and lower rear that I would not need swaybars,but if they help any I would still like to add them. Anyone know if they make a difference if truck has been lowered? THANKS

Re: sway bars
I used aftermarket sways from Addco.......Drilled the holes and welded in some sleeves......The stock beams are solid-the DJM's are hollow......I think you get the pricture........but they work great..

Re: sway bars
Speaking of pictures...have any of your swaybar installed? Did the bar come with instructions as far as where the mounting locations are?

Re: sway bars
Lookin' good! So, was the listing specifically for a twin I-beam truck or is it entirely a universal sway bar? I'm thinking that this will be my next upgrade.
BTW, you mentioned sways with an 's'...you have one on the rear as well?

Re: sway bars
Yep.....rear as well, a pretty tight fit after it was lowered.
but worth it, i am actually surprised by how the truck handles now
I can throw up some photos later today
