92-96 Lowered F150 5" Front Drop Sway Bar

Hey, Folks

92-96 F-150 2 wheel drive.

Would any one have pictures handy of what the front sway bar should look like with a 5 inch drop in the front.

I currently have a 3 inch drop on my 1992 F-150 and the Front Sway Bar is almost rubbing the frame. I'm Curious how it should look once it is dropped another 2 inches. Which direction should it be going? I have read multiple forums and no pictures of how the sway bar should be setup....

The links below are some that I have found on the web I will continue to look for more for those interested in lowering their F-150. If any has any information on hand that would help, "that would be great."

Update: After lowering the truck a total of 5 inches in the front I had no problems mounting the front sway bar in its original position. No rubbing issues that I notice at this time.

So you are saying that the additional two inch drop eliminated the clearance issue you were having with the three inch drop? Can you post pics of your front sway bar set up? Thanks for sharing your experience btw.

I'm going to take the truck up to the dealer today at 9:30 and have them align the front end. I am expecting tires to be delivered to my work place today...If they arrive I will take some pictures when I have it up on the lift with the tires off...

Well, took the alignment tech a little over 3 hours to align the truck. He did a pretty good job. Still pulls to the left a tad. I'll have to take it some were else and get it checked out to make sure it's all in specifications.. Got 3 new tires on the front.. Here are the photos of the Sway Bar I took these before we pulled the old tires off..
