Default Please help identifying part number/ too stupid to figure out part manuals apparently

There are a couple identical brackets to hold the front sway bar that goes between frame of my truck and the front sway bar bushing holders. Not the end links but the other bushings.

My brackets were bent by towing my truck the wrong way and now the bent brackets need replacing. None of the brackets I have seen in the part manual for my year looks like what is on my truck.

The part manuals cover several models so maybe I'm reading it wrong but I did a search for every instance of the term "sway" looking at all the pictures for every hit and nothing looks right.

The front mounts for other years also look way different in those parts manuals.

There is no way this stuff is custom. It looks very OEM and yet the manual doesn't show it?????

Any ideas???

Good idea. This shows how it's bent.

That is the Upper Sway Bar Bushing Bracket... Dealer Item only as far as I know. Unless you find them at a local wrecking yard..

I have seen some guys make new stands out of a piece of rectangle tubing as an alternate.... Just food for thought....

Aren't the part numbers in the manuals here the same ones the dealer can see? https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...s-manuals.html

Yeah, those are drop brackets. You won't find them in the parts catalog, as they are not stock.

Sounds like the way to go, unless you remove those spacers and extend your sway bar links. (I assume you need those brackets because of your lift)
