i just installed a 6 in lift . do i need the sway bar drop brackets or can i do without? or do i even need the front sway bar at all?

thanks,

A lot of guys prefer the feel without them, myself included. Your truck will have excessive body roll around corners. You will have to slow way down for cornering. If in doubt, take it for a drive, If its to "tippy" for you then put them back in. Its all personal preferance. Just remember to let anyone else who may happen to drive it in on your little secret

I would also try it without the sway bars, as it may not make much difference at all in most cases. If you decide to keep the sway bars, you should use drop brackets to keep them from being bound up and restricting the suspension. While it's simply a matter of dropping the frame mounting points with the new brackets/ blocks, the rear would need longer end links to allow for the lift kit. JSM84

I know I'm going to be at this point very soon. I also know I could buy them for around $50 but I'm looking to save money. How tall are these brackets? Could I go to a steel shop and buy scrap "C" channel to use?

on my last truck i made quick disconnects for the sway bar, i unfourtunatly can't find the pictures, when i was going in the woods i pulled the disconnects, and on pave ment, sway bars stayed on, its just safer, and i have a heavy foot, which is why i have a bronco and not a mustang

If you look at Dunes runners pic of his front lift his drop brackets are just C shaped pieces of metal that bolt in between the swaybar brackets and frame. I would just get some steel and bend it.

Or buy "C" channel but how tall are they supposed to be ????
