If it broke, you need another one. The heat from welding will take all the tensile strength out and it will not perform as it should.

I would call Lindon. I'm guessing he's the guy that used to work for Wolfe?
If it's his old style then it's pretty easy, the newer ones look nicer but take a little more effort. Still though anyone fairly well versed with a welder should be able to install it for you.
Mitch: you'd probably call it more of an anti-roll bar than a swaybar. It's a solid bar that rides inside of a couple of bushings then it has tabs on each end connected to rod ends, connected to tabs welded on the axle housing. It slightly preloads the suspension and won't let the rear suspension twist at all. Kind of like a really thick conventional swaybar but it doesn't affect up and down movement. With a torque arm setup it gives the same advantages as having ladder bars.

"Our REAR SWAY BAR is welded between your stock frame rails and is connected to your rear end with spherical rod ends. Unlike most stock sway bars, which are attached with rubber bushings or to the suspension control arms. The attachment with the spherical rod ends ties directly the sway bar into both sides or the rear end housing."
