How do you or can you? I can see getting the old ones out via fire or brute force but how do you get a new one in? The bracket is welded together so do you have to cut em apart and reweld?

Also where can I get the rest of the parts I need (endlinks and all bushings) if there is one stop shopping. Firm Feel seems like the closest I can find for parts so far, but I don't think they have parts for factory bar.

Only option is to grind welds and remove bushing.
Options for putting back together is weld or use low profile flat head bolts and bolt it back together.

Roseville Moparts has the end link bushings for the rear. Only place I've found the rears and good folks to work with.

If you contact Dave he may be able to help with the main ones. Need to convince a vendor to release a serviceable bracket and bushings for the frame mount. I'm going to modify mine or start from scratch. Probably weld a flat head bolt in on the bracket to act as a stud.
Other option is to go with a bigger aftermarket bar but I don't think there is much wrong with the stock size and I'm too cheap to throw away good parts.

If you are not into original look, I installed new gm front swaybar bushings and brackets on mine, I cut off the u part and used nuts and bolts to mount the new bracket to the frame mounted brackets..

Thanks everyone! Roseville has the frame mounting screws too! Energy suspension has some "generic" bushings I will have to see if the factory ones are the same as one of their bushings.

I am a little torn over tracking down parts and getting the factory bar ready or just going with the firm feel rear bar...
