Well I did stock rear toyota springs in the front to give me a little more clearence for the fender.  I can't believe how 'cadillac' the ride is.  But since I drive to and from the trail, I reeeeealy need a swaybar.  

So since the front axle is moved forward a couple inches and therefore the distance from the frame mounts / to axle mounts for the sway bar is approx that much shorter too, has anyone simply cut a couple inches out and just rewelded it?

Thanks
Jeff

that wouldnt jive the swaybar is made of spring steel and the heat would kill the temper.  why not leave the swaybar where it is and just move the axle mounts to the rear of the axle???
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

Hmm, there's an idea.  That might be a bit too far back, but it would definatelly be closer!  I'll have to go measure that up when I get home.
