IF the seller doesnt have the "extra" parts needed, and just the bar itself, and after i'm done chasing the parts needed, if they're anything close to this, then i know what route to take...

Alan, i wonder if "stock" is where your mounts at, and the "hellwig" uses the backside ofthe shock perch. You look at Greg's pics? Completely different mount location/setup
I have the "notch" atop the axle tube, like yours, where the u-bolt rides in...beginning to think now, that a stock bar will not bolt up like a hellwig setup???

Mine is factory, it looks like the Hellwig uses the U bolts for the shock mount. The bolts that hold the shock mount on mine are long enough to easily mount the sway bar bushing bracket onto as in Greg's setup.

Heres something weird, energy suspension has the swaybar bushings, right, but it list them to be both, front and back application. So, i'll measure the bolt width of my front swaybar, and see if it matches up with the u-bolts for the rear shock mounts. Also, from the look of the E.S. pics of bushings, where the bolt holes are at, they look to be slotted...
Al, do you think your stock swaybar can be mounted up to the rear shock perches?
