Well I went with the kartboy endlinks since they are better with my car and we didnt realize that we had to use two stock screws on the top but it rides nice now.. lets just say I had fun driving back home even though im still due for an alignment tomorrow (not off by much.. but im a **** when it comes to alignment)

Awesome! When I upgraded my sways it was like day and knight for my 2008. I hated how small my factory sways were

I assumed since youd have to pretty much reach deep in there to just remove the damn stock one and replace... I was looking at some diagrams and it looked simple yet a lot of busy work.

It's pretty straight forward. Once you have the bottom splash guard off you'll see the plate that you have to remove as well as the end links and sway mounts. Just all in a tight area to reach a ratchet into! Making it the pia to install. Lmao

What bars did you go with?

Left it in the garage because of retarded construction going on on my street and the others streets leading to my house. I damn near pulled my truck out to drive.
