I'm lucky to have my truck with me working in Bellingham, WA; and we have a dry morning (the first in over a week) so I took a look under there.
In my opinion the bar should be mounted in back of the axel above or through the frame (I like to maintain my spare in the OEM location)
Also the arms need to be formed and located to work with my bump stops.
Again, JM2CW

P.S.: OMG! my truck is starting to squat!

Was the install pretty straightforward or was there any modification necessary to make it work. You inspired me to order the same bar. I think the trade off between suspension travel vs. handling will be worth it. Also, it can be removed easily for off-road excursions. Thanks for the write up.

I realize my H2 SUT is a completely different platform than the Raptor, but after all the extensive suspension mods I've done to it, the upgraded sway-bars made the biggest difference in handling. And just for reference, it comes stock with F/R sways, I just upgraded them. People can't get over how flat it is around corners, and that's with 40" Toyo's.

BTW, just found out that my ordered Raptor has a "parts hold". Anyone know what it might be? I want my damn truck.

This is a better solution than swaybar link quick disconnects or electronic swaybar disconnect.. it is simple flip of a switch/level.. No climbing under the truck, less parts to break, just set it and forget it...
