i heard if you shorten the arms that run from the LCA to the swaybar it gives the arms less leverage making it harder for the swaybar to twist in turn stiffening your front suspension?

ideas, thoughts?

As long as there is no binding, then the worst that could happen is faster end link bushing wear. IDK for sure. I guess get some grade 9 (if you must, you can try grade 8) bolts, assemble the washer/spacer/bushing stack, and torque 'em on down.

Good luck trying to get that setup to line up without some swearing involved.

i was going to use grade 8 for sure it would suck to do all the work and have it be in vain cause the bolts fail..

i think ill play around with it next week and let you guys know the results
