MIDWEST CHASSIS 82-02 F-BODY ANTI ROLL BAR BENT STYLE
Midwest Chassis bent style ARB can be purchased with weld-on chassis brackets or bolt-on chassis brackets and will work with stock and aftermarket rear ends from 82-02 F-Body. Please note that the third gen chassis can only use the weld on brackets, the bolt-on are 4th gen specific. It requires factory style sway bar brackets (welded in place) to bolt onto the rear end and if your rear end is not equipped with factory style sway bar brackets we do sell the needed brackets separately. We do not recommend using a factory sway bar u-bolt clamp as it may twist under a load altering your settings. The installation of our bolt on ARB is very simple. We use self lubricating bronze Oilite bushings. Don't be fooled by other anti-roll bars that use poly mounting points. The poly mount allows distortion which causes changes in the preload settings.
NOTE: REAR END MANUFACTURERS USE DIFFERENT WIDTH SWAY BAR MOUNTING LOCATIONS. WE NEED TO KNOW THE WIDTH AND REAR END TYPE TO ENSURE PROPER FITMENT.
NOTE: IF UPGRADING TO THE 1-1/2" ANTI-ROLL, YOU MUST USE WELD ON CHASSIS BRACKETS. THE 1-1/4" HAS THE OPTION OF WELD ON OR BOLT ON CHASSIS BRACKETS. YOU MUST USE THE SUPPLIED 3/8" HARDWARE THAT COMES WITH THE BOLT ON BRACKET OPTION. THESE BOLT THROUGH THE FRAME AND REQUIRE DRILLING. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BRACKET FAILURE.
NOTE- THE 1-1/2" BAR UPGRADE INCLUDES UNASSEMBLED CHROMOLY BUILDER LINKS TO CUT/FIT TO YOUR APPLICATION SO WELDING IS REQUIRED. THE 1-1/4" BARS COME WITH ASSEMBLED 7" LINKS, SHOWN IN THE MAIN PRODUCT PICTURE.
NOTE: WE CAN MAKE THESE AT A CENTER TO CENTER OF 29.5" TO 32". OVER 32" ON MOST APPLICATIONS IS TOO WIDE AND RISKS GETTING INTO THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. NARROWER THAN 29.5" WILL CREATE AN ISSUE FROM BEING MOVED TO FAR INWARD.
NOTE: THE 1-1/4 THICK WALL VERSION COMES WITH GUSSETED ARMS. THE 1-1/2 THICK WALL COMES WITH GUSSETED ARMS THAT HAVE ADDITIONAL BRACING, AND EXTRA REINFORCING PLATE FOR THE HOUSING SWAY BAR BRACKETS.
