4x4 stab. bar

i'm in the mids of doing a 4x4 converstion, and my 2x4 front end has a stab. bar.

it looks like i can transfer the bar and brackets to the 4x4 front end, but i was wondering if the stab bar was only ment to go on the 2x4.

i figured it is not be on the 4x4 so the front end can move more when off road.

so my question is, do some 4x4 come with the front stab bar? if so i'll transfer it to he 4x4 front end.

thanks
kyle

I don't have any sway bars on mine. It might fit, or it might need drop links. It will limit articulation off road.

My 4x4 with a towing package has sway bars on both ends. It sure does drive better than others I have driven with only one of none.

Mine had both. I took the rear off and left the front but I don't tow or haul anything. If your going to drive on-road allot keep it. You'll miss it when you have to crank on the wheel at high speed.
