105 series rear shocks hitting sway bars

Post by badger »

I Have ordered a 3 inch lift and "4inch" touch dog shocks for my new truck.
I have been told i wont be able to run a rear sway bar with any shock this size bore shock.

Anyone had any experiance with this?
Is it just a matter of limiting down travel, or tweeking the sway bar a little?

This car is being set up as a tourer so i want to run a sway bar.
and i definatly want to run big bore shocks




P.S can the anti tough dog croud stay out of this thread :P I have ran them in a few cars now and if they are set up properly they dont fail.

I've got 5" springs and the 6" shocks on the rear end of my 105, my shocks are the 45mm adjustables, heaps of clearance between the shock and swaybar.

I USED to run them in my 80 and had to extend the swaybar hangers so they wouldnt touch the shock, but does only put a small dent in them :)

one question for ya, what do you mean by setting them up properly? they just bolt on... there is no science to it, they simply fail :finger:
