Help! Sway bar bracket broken

I have a 2000 F-250 super duty XLT 4x4 and I have a sway bar bracket thats hanging loose. it seems to have been attached some way but it seems as though it was rigged before. keep in mind I got this truck with it pretty beat up. just need help trying to figure out the part I need to put the Stabilizer Bar Bracket to attach. if that makes sense

Found this on the internet - shows a bracket that looks like is broken off of yours

i'd take it to a dealer to see if they can identify the missing bracket

Mine had that happen to it. the previous owner just bolted up a piece of flat stock to replace it.

You dont need the swaybar if you have stiff front springs...mine has been off for years.

I believe this truck has the snow plow prep package on the right side, at least. Was ordered with it. Left side has always sat 1'' lower than right since new. But I towed 7500 pounds or so recently without issue. Felt fine to me.

I use my Jeep Cherokee (coil springs front) as a pickup often with no swaybars either. Works okay for me!
