yes but it's not level where it should be, bar should be even with the body, not tilted down. adjust the endlink shorter
I need some insight on a motor swap

My Christmas gift to myself, just got more expensive....... Great..... thanks a lot......
Make sure you use a silicone grease inside the bushings where the bars will move. Anywhere there is a new rubber bushings with moving metal inside of it, grease it.

I did, mine are already squeaking.

I think a set of front and rear bars set me back $600.
I slathered it on. Plus, you operate where there is salt on the roads, correct? I would have to disassemble to regrease that way.
I usually have to re-grease mine every 6 months or spring/fall when the weather changes

So you unbolt the bushings to regrease?
I have done it once. My friend and I have been planning to tap the collar and install a grease zerk and drilling a hole in the bushing for grease path and then also channel the inside of the bushing for grease disbursement.
That will likely have to wait a while. Working on finishing the major work we are doing on the 2010 FJ Cruiser, documented in my "Garage" thread. Also, just sold an engine and transmission replacement on my neighbors 2006 F150. Ordered the engine, transmission and transmission cooler and I also ordered a huge 2 page list of parts from RA. You can see the list in the Garage section thread I have.

So,..... the factory sway bar I have with 172,000 miles makes no sounds.... ( that I know of ) You'd think there is a better lube for the bushing that lasts. ( Silicone? Lithium grease? ) Maybe Hellwig has a solution?
hellwig sends them with a small packet of I think silicone grease, mine have always made noise every so often even with oem might have something to do with evironmental conditions or my driving.
ya takes like 10 minutes and done, just the D bushings
The OE bushings and Hellwig bushings are way different.

I think with our winters, after a few times the bolts would probably snap.
they should be stainless, if not head over to ace hardware and match some up
