depends on which sway bar you have - if you have an early one then you need the mounting straps and to do a bit of chassis fabrication.

If you have the later ARB it'll bolt on AFAIK

Early arb bolts up tight to the chassis rails later one is on 2 8" long sraps that stand off the chassis rails.

Post a pic of what you have.

I got as far as getting the later ARB and fittings then gave up as it's probably not worth the effort chaning from early to late....

You need to find a way to bolt the arb straps to the chassis rails and wishbones will need driling for the outer mounts.

Not convinced it's worth the effort though...

Number 2 in that pic just needs bolting onto the chassis legs somehow.

Rivnuts would probably be easiest if it meets the chassis legs square. Shouldn't be too much trouble.

I have the early A arms. I welded the L shaped straps to the inner rails. Attached the sway bar under the A arms.
