Thank you,

I believe when Lee and I weighed it there was more than a 10-pound weight difference going from the old solid bar to our new, hollow bar.

Also, the weight savings from the other bar is much greater than we originally estimated. We had no bar to compare it to other than a similar solid bar that was over 24lbs and we didn't want to quote high and not know for a fact. There is more than a 10 pound difference, though.

What is your email? And the only picture in the thread is of another company's sway bar. You'll have to excuse me for not remembering, things are CRAZY here right now and I've been on the phone, answering emails, trying to do the forums, and enter orders!

This is false, at least with QA1 shocks. I run a spohn bar and have no issues at all.. Just had to rotate shocks to avoid breaking *****..
