Front Sway Bar Diameter:UPDATE: Bushings installed
I'm going to be changing my front sway bar and link bushings because they are shot. Anyone know what the front swaybar diameter is on a '99 1500 4x4? I think it is either 30mm or 32mm. Service manual did not have the spec that I could find and I can't go out an measure it at the moment.

Steve,
Your right, it's mostly the link bushings that are bad, but the Energy Suspension bushing kit I am looking at includes the sway bar frame mounting bushings too. Thought I might as well upgrade to poly on those while i'm at it.
Bamory,
I'm going with the Energy Suspension polyurathane bushings. Probably get them from Summit.

RE: Front Sway Bar Diameter:UPDATE:Bushings installed
I put in my new bushings tonight Took about an hour total, and that was taking my time. It's dark outside now, so I don't have any good pictures of them installed on the truck (will try to get some tomorrow), but here is some pics I took while I had the sway bar off for comparison. Like I said, my old bushings were shot. I haven't driven it yet to see if it feels different, will do that in the morning. I went with red since my springs, shocks boots, and steering stabilizer are all red (Skyjacker).
