Front sway bar

In my attempt to put a front sway bar in my Dana 60 swapped 86’ f250, I found one that matched the description....but couldn’t verify part numbers listed on Gary’s website. I have no idea how this thing fits in. I can imagine the legs wrap around the leaf springs somehow, but I’m not sure. Can anyone help?

Does the sway bar mount to the frame or the axle?

Does the sway bar go in front or behind the axle?

Where can I find the part number of the sway bar in an attempt to make sure it is the correct one? It was listed as the Dana 60 solid axle front from a 91’ f350. Which the axle came out of originally.

most likely to fit is this way, passenger side is between the axle and track bar, I’ll need that bracket yet. And the drivers side, which makes the arms of the sway bar under the leaf springs....

Drivers side

Passenger side

Looks like the frame brackets inset the end links just to the inside of each leaf spring. I wonder if those holes are already punched in the frame for the brackets.

that’s what I’m seeing, now I need links, the top link brackets, and the passenger side axle bracket.
