adding sway bars
ok so on the 94 f150 there are sway bars, for sure the rear and if i remember correctly the front as well. when you turn at normal speed there is minimal body roll and everything is well in china town. on the 92 there are no sway bars at all, and when you turn a corner at anything over 10 mph there is a decent amount of body roll, but worse all the stuff on the dash goes flying to one side and usually ends up on the floor, not such a good day in china town.
i am wondering if installing roll bars on the 92 is a simple bolt in process, do you just drill the holes if necessary and bolt the bars on or do you need an axle that already has bars on it?

I can't speak for the 150 and I don't know if you have 4x4 or 2wd, but I added front and rear sway bars to my truck (F250) that did not have any from the factory, and after converting the front from a TTB to a solid axle, all by bolting on factory items. No drilling, all holes were existing.
As long as you get a sway bar and ALL of the necessary bolts, brackets and bushings (these may need replacement but you will know if the parts dude gave you the correct ones) from a similarly equipped vehicle as yours, I'll bet a dollar against donuts that this is a bolt in project.
Focus on complete assemblies, not cheap pieces.

I would have to guess that you just need to find the swaybar assemblies and bolt them on. All of the holes in the frame should be there already. There are different diameter bars for the front and rear, try to remove the front and rear from the same truck. Larger diameter will help to control body roll.
