9 inch install issues... Sway bar dosnt fit!
I know about the sway bar mount not working from the stock 10 bolt, my issue is the swaybar makes contact with the torque arm mounts on the rear end before it is even close enough to the sway bar mounts on the bottom of the axle tube! Any suggestions?

you may need a set of these to push/space the bar down, i have a 9inch with BMR sway bar with those brackets and dont have any problems

well you may need longer endlinks to put the sway bar back in alignment, use the ones you have now and when you put the car back on the ground look and see, if the angle is wrong then you need longer endlinks

The endlinks I bought were about 1.5 inches longer... I was going to reuse the sleeve from the old endlinks, but i still have the longer sleeve that came with them

Im just kinda disapointed in how NOT "bolt in" the whole 9 inch was... even though it was advertised as a complete drop in event. Grinding on the expensive *** strange 3rd member to clear the torque arm mount, brake lines, sway bar issues, drive shaft issues.... way more than the 2500 budget i had
this thing better cook me breakfast when im done with it.

Mine was hitting too. I have the BMR Extreme sway bar. I just took a grinder and clearanced the torque arm mount. It is thick and the bolts only go about half way through anyways. You will not effect strength or durability in any way.
