I reviewed Icon's lift kits for the 2005-2007 SD's versus the 2008-2010 SD's and from the pics determined that there is a difference in the sway bar design. In the pics below, you can see the subtle differences...

Are you sure the sway bar is actually different? The top pic looks like longer links, the bottom pic looks like a spacer to bolt onto the upper mount. I've seen both types for the 05-07 years, depending on the maker.

Front side on the coil spring front ends. This is the drivers side link on my 07. Someone have an 08+ to put up so we can see if theres a difference?
