Maybe if you gave us some dimensions of what you are looking for it could help

Might even be that an A body bar would fit but right now no one can say because you haven't given any useful info.

Not sure why it has to be like pulling teeth.

On an E-body rear, I've seen it done a few different ways.

1. Bend the ends that the end-links attach to inward so they line up with the leaf spring bracket.
2. Modify the leaf spring brackets so the end link attachment point is out farther.
3. Use offset end links so no sway bar or attaching bracket modifications are needed.

If the sway bar is going to hit the sidewall...that's another issue.

I'm going to have to deal with same issue and am planning to make up some offset links, as shown. Bending it in a touch on either side is my second option if I don't do a custom bar.

Well I might be in a pickle.The tire is pretty close to the frame rail.

The OE sway bar sticks out of the mounts past the frame rail enough to hit the tire, I THINK. I can't mock it up just yet.

So the bar needs to be narrower, plus I have to figure out a different mounting, I THINK.
