Sway Bars - newbie question

[Bxrd]

Hello!

I´m new here, looks like a place with some knowledgeable people

As my old man passed some time ago, I now have a 2000 F-250 Super Duty 7.3 Powerstroke to figure out.

First question: The front sway bars seem to hang pretty far down thus reducing the space margins towards rough ground. As I know have to change one of them anyway, I was wondering if its usually considered a problem, and if so is there other versions that sits closer up to the body?

I did search a lot, but couldnt find anything about it. Might be I don´t know the terminology.

Any tips appreciated!

I don't believe there are any options for shorter swaybar endlinks. Springs might be sagged out resulting in the situation you have.

Looks like the end links are too long, maybe someone replaced 'em with the wrong ones and didn't notice or care.

Ok. I just measured the end links and they are 11.85 inches. Then I checked rockauto and seems they have both 6.85 and 11.85 ones. The 6.85 ones would make a great difference. However, they seem to be straight, while the existing ones have a bend to compensate for the two joints not beeing exactly above eachother sidewise.

Any tips? I looked here: RockAuto Parts Catalog
