it should just bolt right up. mount the brackets on the upper a-arm and run the tube thru them. then put the shaft thru it and
put the heim joints on the ends and run them down to the lower shock mount?

take one side apart and leave the other one together and look at the together side then vise versa

Ive done everything. Im thinking they sent me the wrong sway bar. It sucks i had to miss the TT race do to this. Here are some pics i snapped. One is the linkage hitting my shock rezzie,then another is my shock in the way and a-arm, and then the sway bar hitting my AC bumper.

They didnt send instructions or nothing. I tried everything. Turning shocks upside down,inside out,just about everything.

outlaw- just checked the site we are out at texas at the TT nationals. I will be in the shop tomorrow am- I will give you a call. It looks like you are running aftermarket long travel MX a-arms that is where you problem is.
We have very few customers running MX a-arms, but we do have clamps available that mount to the upper a-arms because you can't use the lower shock mount with that style a-arm. It was my fault for not quizzing you more when you ordered them. I assumed when I asked you stock or aftermarket a-arms- they were TT arms.
I will check in with you tomorrow.
