Anybody Running Fender Well Headers on 78/79 F250 4X4 w/Front Sway Bar?

I'd like to run fender-well headers on my 78 F250 4X4 with a 351M, but I'm concerned that the upper sway bar mount (where it bolts through the frame) may interfere with these.
So any of you guys running fender-wells have a stock front sway bar?

Good question, I just took the front sway bar off to install a different 4" lift on ol blue. And have a set of L&L's fendwewell exits I would like to install.

I need to modify the length of the frame drop links or get new longer links from Skyjacker and reinstall the sway bar.

Hopefully someone has that answer for us.

yes and no

With my 78 F250 4wd with 400 and Hedman fenderwell headers I don't have any issues with the stabilizer bar. However, when I had my 79 F350 4wd with 460 and L&L headers, it did rub on the stabilizer bar.
