Sway Bar Question
Hi,
I was curious, was a sway bar an option on out trucks? Mine is an 86 F-250 4x4, and it is bone stock, but missing the sway bar.
Thanks,
Nick

yes, it was an option on all the trucks as part of the handling performance package, and had front and rear BOTH, never separate.
the front bars for the 150s, 100's etc are the same 80-96 and I *think* are the same for the 250 with the d44 front and 2wd, the 350 was different.
the rears might be the same for the 250ld, I know they are the same for all versions of the 100/150 with only the rear links being different.
I dont have time to look it up now (shop work calls!) but if someone like Bill the old geezer can get you a parts cross we can point you where to look (I have a front in stock with the 'commas' and a rear in stock with the 4x4 links - used - but I dont want much - but too much to ship unless your 'bay area' is the cheasapeke)

Thanks,
Chesapeake Bay Area would probably be a little more comfortable for a guy like me instead of the S.F. Bay Area!
I would like to put come on since this is just my driver, and I have a wheeler already built. I might just go to Pick Your Part with the half off day coming up. I need a tail gate anyway.
I thought sway bars were standard issue by that point.

Thanks,
I am putting some finishing touches on this thing, and I would like to try out the bars just to see what they do for handling.

They help, I just got done putting all new poly link bushings in mine, almost like the bars were never there before!
