sway bar swap
i bought a 77.5 4x4 truck that did not have sway bars so i went to a salvage yard and cut the u-bolts off of the front and rear sway bars they were rusted on and bent. on the rear sway bar i belive that i had perches that the sway bar was on but the truck im puting them on did not have perches on the axle what would i have to do to have the rear sway bar mounted on the axle and what size u-bolts would you have to use on the front and rear sway bars?

Are the sway bars off of the same size axles as your trucks, and if so, just use the perches from the swaybars and get new ubolts of the same size.
Just asking, what are you going to use the truck for(towing, wheeling,?).

If you will be doing alot of articlating, then you might want to have some quick disconets, but mine weren't welded to anything, and right now I'm running a 6" lift a 36s without any sway bars, it does fine for me. I only feel alittle bit of body roll when I'm on dry ground going fast and turning sharp, but off road it feels fine.
The most I might do is set up the front with some disconects.
