Can someone help me out

I need someone that has a readylift 2.5in lift to measure the sway bar drop bracket
My western plow set up might be in the way. Can somebody take this measurement? It will be greatly appreciated. Thank

Its a 2" drop bracket. If thats in the way, I have heard of guys not using the drop bracket when they install the leveling kit so the tires dont rub the sway bar.

So I don't have to use it? idk if u got autocorrected don't make sense to me lol if I don't use the drop bracket the tires don't rub lol I'm confused now.

What if I don't use it? I would think it will put stress on the end links right

Yes it would just put a little more stress on the endlinks. Some people say their trucks rub the radius arms and the sway bar. If they remove the drop bracket it won't rub the sway bar. Either way its going to rub the radius arms if you stay on stock wheels. Mine hasn't rubbed any paint off the sway bar, but it has rubbed the radius arms.

Just remove the sway bar all together, makes for a smoother ride too.

Some of the ready lift kits shipped the wrong bracket. Mine did. Had to send it back and get the correct bracket. Do you have a pic of the bracket? The bracket differs between the 16 and 17.

He's asking about the sway bar bracket, not the track bar bracket. Btw, how did you notice the difference between the '16 and '17 bracket you posted?

You are right, that's what I get for responding in the late night hours (or early mornings) . It did not fit right and they are not that different looking at first glance. I'll see if I have more pics to post the two side by side.

Thanks, that would be appreciated. I have a kit sitting here waiting to be installed but won't be until spring time. I just want to make sure I have it all. My kit p/n is 66-2726, came with everything.

I'll check my computer for pics, if not I'll have my son take a pic of the one on my truck as I am in Japan right now. I am almost positive I have on my computer with them side by side after Ready Lift sent me the correct one.
