Yes... I'm sure it is. But could you please point your "knowledge" in a different and upwind direction. My coughing and gagging neighbor is now wretching in my yard.

Here's the problem I have with this whole mess. BaiN made the statement above with absolutely no qualifications as to application or suitability. It was a completely blanket statement that did not convey that his opinion was based on the fact that he has a 7" lift, larger tires, a really heavy brushguard and an even heavier winch mounted to his front end. It does not take any of the OP's specific information regarding his truck or usage into account. This is the problem with offering advice on forums like this. What works for one may not and often does not work for another. Unless you are willing to quantify your comments with real information that is useable and relevant, you're better off not posting.

True, but this is the side yard. Personally I don't mind. Beats the hell out of burnt dead flesh or a hog building anyday. Just don't light a match...we don't need your fine intelligent *** turning into Mt St Miami.

Are these the ones you are talking about: http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/G...view=247298861 cause they look they would work, look as if they would unbuilt pretty easily, but i would have to find a post-98 sway bar, but that shouldn't be to hard

disregard the finding of a post-98 sway bar, the axle mount is different, oh well back to the jeep idea

What does a pre 98 mount (or sway link) look like? Wait a minute...this is what you have (left picture) right? If so, the top gun part will work as well as the warrior ones on the right.
I've seen something similar to the top gun design on PS...Some one adapted a different style of jeep with eyeletes on each end using steel strap and a couple of bolts. Crude looking but effective.
The pic of the factory link was taken from a 1997 listing in Rock Auto.
