Adding factory front sway bar
I have a '94 F-150 super cab with 4wd and I would like to add the factory sway bars. What would I need from the salvage yard to do this, do I need any brackets off the I-beams?
Also, I want to put stiffer springs in the rear, not really to haul, but the rear is sloppy, I would really like to get rid of the lift blocks as well. My question is, would F-250 springs bolt in and allow me to get rid of the lift blocks with out losing ride height?
Thanks for your help

If I remember right. For the front there are 5 peices. 2 where the bar conects to the frame, 2 under the springs, and the sway bar also make sure the links are still conected to the bar. For the rear there are 2 brakets on the frame and 2 on the rear end then you need the links and the bar.
The rear is sloppy? what do you mean? Does it sway or does it bounce?
The bounce is usally fixed by shocks.

It does bounce, has alot of wheel hop on acceleration, and around corners its seems to sway more than it should. This was greatly amplified when I was toting a 16ft. car trailer around. I will be doing shocks soon, but I would like more spring rate in the rear, as well as losing the lift blocks. was wondering if F-250 springs would solve that problem. Ride quality isn't much of an issue being my other truck is a '91 Ranger that comes off the ground before the springs bottom out.
