L Rear Sway Bar On A 8.8
Like the title says, I'm trying to figure out how to adapt the stock Lightning rear sway bar to fit on an 8.8 axle.
The problem I ran into is the bracket the the sway bar is supposed to mount to bolts onto the axle right where the axle tube begins on the left and right side of the pumpkin. Well on the drivers side there is a brakeline 3-way connector thats mounted on the axle almost right where the bracket should go.
So my question is... what should i do?
try to relocate the 3-way connector
or something else?
Has anyone else ever put an L sway bar on a 8.8?
any help is appreciated.

the u bolts fit, i need to trim off the arm thingy that comes off the bracket tho since it has no use on the 8.8 axle
the 3 way needs to be moved an inch or two to the left IIRC
i really dont wanna cut and flare new hardlines.
i also cant really tell how that 3-way thing is mounted to the axle..
