rear sway bar....

[racsan]

my rear sway bar broke some time ago and im thinking of replacing it, ive read about the B2 sway bar and looked at the summit online catolog, but their B2 sway bar was the same diameter as the ranger replacement they offer...in the "bigger is better" theroy, the explorer bar they show is a 1" bar instead of a 7/8", so im thinking of going that route. as far as the display picture shows, it looks the same...anyone familier with both setups know if its any different? heres the summit link for the explorer bar:

I've got the 4x4 bar installed on my truck, and the Explorer bar waiting to be installed. The only major difference I see, other than diameter, is the explorer bar mounts to two pads welded to the axle, while the Ranger bar mounts by clamping around the axle tubes.

It's probably no big deal to use your ranger bar mounts with the Expo bar, but you may have to mix and match some hardware, or modify the bushings a little. It's certainly not something that looks too difficult to me, but your comfort level may be different.

If you do it, I'd love to see pics of how it turns out!
