Hey everyone I looked at the other threads on this and could not find an answer. I got a factory rear sway bar off an 89 V3500 (I think it was a V...) and I'm just now getting around to mounting it. I got new U-bolts and got the plates that mount under the axle mounted. I am temporarily reusing the sway bar bushings but I don't see a good place to mount the sway bar end links.
I know there are some frame differences between the 2 and 4-wheel drive and that seems to be my issue. There is an overload leaf spring rest/stop that is mounted right where the end link would like to go. I was going to use the oblong hole behind that mounting plate but my end links are not long enough. I could try and go find some longer ones but was wondering If I couldn't just drill a hole where the end link wants to be and call it good? Or I could get some L brackets like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZS8BNK/
