Rear sway bar on a ford 9 inch rear
Hi Guys , I put a Ford 9 inch in my 86 iroc and would like to use the original sway bar .I understand I need new sway bar brackets to foot the diameter of the new housing. Does anyone know where I could find them please? Thanks

I have laser cut mild steel ones that I am not using. They came with my UMI drag bar. I have the U-bolts, washers, nuts, and the brackets. Powdercoated black.

You can use heavy duty muffler clamps in a pinch

I used 3"? muffler clamps and a piece of square tubing to space the bar down a bit for clearance.

Yep I had to do the same with my QP 9" since it didn't come with sway bar mounts. Didn't realize I had to check that box when ordering. Thankfully it's gone and Midwest Chassis sits in the back of the car problem free
