Carli sway bar install with frontend leveling kit

[Mobius1]

I have a Lorenz 3 inch front leveling kit and I am looking to install a carli torsion sway bar. Does anyone know the correct length the end links have to be? The instructions say 5 inches end to ned but I think it is for non-lifted trucks?



Thank you!!

I actually called Carli today and spoke to Sage. Found out that the instructions say 5 inch eye to eye is for all applications. One thing I found out is that now my BG steering stabilizer will not fit. Does anyone know of a SS that will work with Carli TSB?

DSS and PSC work fine w/ the sway bar.

I installed the Carli torsion sway bar and defiant products steering brace yesterday... . They are NOT compatible together. The Carli torsion bar rubs on the dropped portion of the brace that holds the support bearing. The defiant brace has slotted holes where the bolts mount it to the frame... . And I can not adjust it in the right direction as the torsion bar is there. Not too pleased with Carli's directions as it lacked torque values and much made no sense, I put the bar together before putting it on the truck. I'll take some pictures before I take the sway bar back off.

I got the bar installed today didn't have a chance to drive it, but it is a nice looking unit. There is one torque spec on the sheet. I torqued to 33 ft lbs or whatever it was and just made sure everything else was nice and tight. Was kinda disappointed with the instructions but that is what the internet is for. I found that it was easier to install the bushing on the bar first than to pound it in from one side Post some pics up of your new toys!!

I have the Carli Sway bar and the Defiant brace and it works. I was able to adjust the the brace so that is didn't interfere with the bar, but it is very close (about 2 mm's)

Yeah no problems with the Torsion Sway bar and the PSC steering brace
