Sway Bar Rubbing Coil

[dcramer67]

My sway bar is rubbing the coil on the passenger side. Do my coils need to be more narrow, or is something bent or off?

The sway bar relocation brackets/mounts in the second link might be of the most interest to you if you already have longer links.

I think those relocation brackets should work. Thanks!

No problem.  I just went through this same situation lol.  Those brackets work great.

Where is your upper control arm?

Hmm. I'm hoping it is a wristed radius arm setup or a true 3 link. Some guys have been pulling one upper arm to make a hacktacular 3 link, not really a good idea IMHO.

I have the iro long arm kit. It only connects to the upper control arm bracket on the driver side.

The angle of your sway bar is way out, you need longer sway links, the bar ends should point up about 10-15 degrees, this also helps pull the ends away from the coil. Otherwise a relocation bracket is about all you can do.

 

And I agree, pulling an upper is no way to make a 3link, that just sounds scary. The stock sized upper bushings are definitely not up to that task.

 

The IRO kit is more of a radius arm with only one side tied to the upper correct? So, not really a 3 link anyway, but functional enough I imagine.

I ordered the relocation brackets.  Hopefully that helps the geometry some.

Yes, the IRO is basically a radius arm with only one upper.  I am not sure why they only use one uppper (more flex?), but I bought the truck with that kit, so I don't know all that much about it.
