I have the stock bars and I need a pic to show how they are mounted and to make sure I have all the brackets I need.

They should bolt on without any welding...Here's a pic of the front bar...End link is a two piece bracket that bolts to the control arm stabilizer...Center link is fastened to the K member using rubber/poly bushings...

And lastely, a pic of the axle bracket...I ditched the isolated rear spring set-up so I welded a washer in the bigger locating hole to reduce it down to the smaller,old style locating pin...Your's should have the bigger holes for the isolated set-up and that's why I'm showing this pic...Your welcome... ...

Awesome pics!Thanks screamindriver.It looks like I have all the parts but my k member doesnt have the braces for the end links to bolt to.I may have to get creative for brackets.

Great pics screamindriver, did you find the sway bars to make a lot of handling difference in these cars?

Yes just like any other mopar the bars make a huge difference...If you're after better handling out of the isolated K member then the aluminum or poly k frame bushings are a must also....There's a member on here that has the whole aluminum set-up including the trans crossmember and I'm thinking that would be my route on the next resto...The vehicle in the pics got the complete poly system.....And a bunch of mods including a k frame skid plate ...And don't forget...There are alot of vehicles out there with the isolated set-ups {cordoba, magnum,charger, etc...} and I'd think it would be easier to locate one in the boneyard and have them torch the k frame brackets off so you could add them to your car if it needed them...They're a pretty beefy piece and that would be the easiest route instead of fabricating them...

Got the front swaybar on today.I fabricated some mountswasnt too hard.I modeled them after the originals.Iwelded and bolted them in.When I drove the car it made a huge difference.The front end didnt seem to wallow as much.The whole car felt tighter.Now I need to put on the rear!Thanks for the pics screamindriver.
