After I installed the Downey cable locker conversion kit, the swaybar no longer fit. I've put up with all the sway and excessive lean during cornering for atleast 3 yrs. Finally, I've decided to see if I can raise the sway bar so it will clear the locker kit. I made the block out of 1.5"x 3" 1/4" thick rectangular tube. I drilled the mounting holes. I had to make a slot on the driver side so the cable can go under the sway bar. I proceeded to look for long bolts. .....not easy to find in metric. I ended up mounting the blocks to the axle with original set of bolts then mount the sway bar on top with anther set of bolts.
The result is fantastic. The handling improved dramatically. I can stop straighter and corner better. It'll help when I tow a trailer too. I don't have swaybar in the front.
Here's some pics of the blocks installed.









For the end links, I used the procomp end links I already have. The links moved toward the front more than before but it's not bad. I think it angled at may be 100 degree or so. I didn't take any pics of the end links though.

That weanie little sway bar still works?? I thought about putting mine back on, but I need to figure out endlinks.

hahaha! Sure it still works. If it's too short, you can use Procomp end links from their 4" kit. I have pics of it somewhere....ahh, here it is.

I did it to clear the cable locker mechanism and cable.
If you have one already, and still want more, you can change them to polyurethane.
