Default Stock 10 bolt - low cost sway bar bracket clamp options?

I do not want to spend $80 on 2 clamps for now.

Anyone know of an aftermarket set for a stock 10 bolt or the axle tube dia to get exhaust clamps to work?

I'm going aftermarket rear next year but need to mount my sway bar this weekend

thanks

id visit a local pick and pull. or if you can find a metal scrap one they usually either give you stuff like that or just about give it to you. the bigger ones or the guy who has a super old yard always try to charge new prices. I dont think the 3" exhaust clamps would work. they are so wide and thick

I found 3" too big and 2-3/4" fit much better
thanks

glad they worked. I had the same result with the 3". I have just placed an order with BMR for their clamps.

exhaush clamps are wimpy. I'll get aftermarket next year when the better rear end goes in
If a $5 clamp breaks for now - I'll just get another and still be way under cost - plus the next rear will be a bigger size tube
thanks!
