hello everyone, i have a 1995 F150 2wd that im looking at dropping with beams. my biggest hiccup thus far is that the truck came with no sway bar originally, but i put a Hellwig front bar on it soon after buying it. i also put a fatory bar on the rear ... so no worries there. Unfortunately, with the addition of drop beams, the hellwig bar will not work, and im now in search of a front swaybar. Does anyone know where i would be able to locate, either new or used, a Lightning front swaybar?? I'm also looking for the swaybar mount tabs that are located underneath the coil springs, either new or used ... Finally, does anyone have any other input on what to do with my swaybar situation?? any input is appreciated ...

thanks,
Lee

 

I think your best bet would be to go to the junk yard and find a truck with the sway bar and brackets and pull em off. If it dosent fit then get some sway bar drop brackets like they sell with lift kits.

 

i think i located some of the swaybar mounts that go under the springs ... i actually have about 5 swaybars sitting in the bed of the parts truck in my back yard ... unfortunately all of the mounts i had were inside the shop, andthe shop burnt down, so here i am. Also, i thought that if i was switching bars, i thought i would try to locate a Lightning swaybar ...

 

Is the Hellwig bar the one that clamps to the I beams? If so, I have a friend that would like to have it. If you end up not using it and want to find a new home for it let me know.

As for trying to find one for a Lightning, look on Ebay and check out NLOC.

 

it is the one that clamps on the i beams ... cant use it anymore due to the fact that the ibeams are being replaced with different drop beams ...

Whats NLOC???

 

Its the Lightning Forum.

What would you sell the old sway bar and hardware for?

 

Havent thought about it yet ... pm me an offer, you pay actual shipping costs ...

 

i purchased a 93 Lightning swaybar, with the "puck" mounts, and the front coil springs, over at NLOC ...
