Hello
Another suggestion if you don't run a rear sway bar and are running bigger tires you might have clearance issue with the tires and fender. What are you going to do with the vehicle? Leave me know and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

Hello
Just another option for you! We offer a axle upgrade kit. Which will allow you run your rear factory sway bar. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer!

dont do it!
i ran around for quite a while with the rear sway bar off, and the only good that come from it, was endless burnouts, and horrible handling.
either buy the umi kit. or buy some 3" u-bolt exhaust clamps, and slot the holes in your swaybar mount (the omega-shaped thing) and it'll work out.
mock it up, and weld a couple 3/8" washers at the ends if you feel that you need to.

Don't remove the rear bar. It will hook worse without the bar on. We have the axle brackets to attach you factory or aftermarket swaybar to your 9" housing. We also have our extreme anti roll bar which takes the place of your factory style bar. Here is a link to our site. Give me a call if you have any questions about any of our products.
