Rear Sway Bar Mount PM

i was thinking of getting a rear sway bar, havnt decided on a st set or just the addco rear, but alot of people complain about the rear mounts breaking, i know what you are talking about, i was thinking of some preventive work i oculd you, such as butt up another "l" bracket of angle iron and have it welded to the frame, and them welded together such as this


__
|
| is the origional


______
||
|| being both added together,


Any ideas on this, or should i jsut replace the origional one?

yes...weld a small plate next to the stock one to prevent the joints from breaking off the frame. also weld extra material on the link itself..that tends to break also.

Those links on my sway bar look really bad, and the bolt at the top is really rusted out. I was thinking I should replace those as well. I wonder if maybe I can order them from Kaleb. I dont know what they are called, so he'll know what Im talking about.

if you get new links get them reinforced too.
