Well, I finally installed the front sway bar with Energy End Links today. Really glad I did the rear bar first, front was a little more intimidating to me for some reason. As I was doing it I was amazed at those of you who were able to do the change without lifting the front end for access. Used my new Rhino Ramps to raise the front end, 4L worked great, just drove right up. Next, I was also amazed at those who could hold that bar up and connect the frame mount bushings! Finally, decided I had to find another way and got out a couple of more jack stands and was able to put the bar on those stands. Raised them as high as I could and voila, worked like a charm. Installed the Energy Suspension End Links and realize I had no idea how tight to go on those. Hoping someone can help me with that. I looked at @5280tunage picture of his install on this thread and believe I may have mine just a couple of turns too tight. My bushings are a little more deformed than his.
Anyway, short drive over bumps and several tight circles later I'm home and calling it quits tonight. Based on feedback on end links I'll wrap it tomorrow. Also, I can see where the frame mount bushings on the front might be a problem. No where near as solid a feel as the mounts on the rear. Curious to hear what @NukeLife hears from Hellwig......
