Forte front sway bar install

[FDLWproject]

Hi folks - took a bit of time off the last few weeks but back to it now!

I got a bunch of parts from Forte last week including the front sway bar. I’m having maybe a brain fart on how to install (no instructions included). Anyone have any tips?

I can’t figure out how/where the brackets are supposed to attach to the chassis. It seems different than the FFR pre-drilled holes that go vertically. The pictures on Fortes website make it look like it attached at an angle off the tow / tie down loop portion off the chassis. But for the life of me, I can’t get the brackets aligned in any configuration that would allow for attachment of both of the bracket bolts.

I called Mike but he is understandably very busy and asked to send him pictures (I did, but don’t want to bug him again so all of us continue getting our engines!!)

You are going down the right track. Here is the pic of mine installed. You can see I am on the outside of the Frame tab so it does no interfere with the angle.

I too have one of Mike's sway bars (.75" or 3/4") but I didn't use his brackets.
I adapted two of the Quick Jack Do-Hickies to get things sorted.
You can kind of see what I did at the end of this old video:

NOTE:..I added sway bar collars to keep the bar from moving from side to side.

Very helpful guys - thanks for the feedback. One of our Atlanta locals - "Alec" on the forum - also shared some pics over text of his set up. I think what was throwing me off is that when I tried the bracket on the outside of the frame tab, I tried to keep it flush with the frame tab vertically. It seems that the bracket is ok to go past the tab instead - so you'll have a bit of the pointed end of the bracket sticking up a bit further. I'll try this tomorrow!
