Not too far down the track i'll be putting RUF on my WT. At the same time I intend to move the spring hangers and shackle mounts inboard to NT specs.

Once I do that the WT swaybar won't fit because it bolts to the spring plates which will now be moved in with the springs. I was hoping to use a NT swaybar, but i'm not sure if the chassis mounts of the WT setup are the same. I suspect it will work, but would rather not have an "oh shit" moment when I go to put it back together! :lol:

Just weld some new mounts on the diff for the WT sway bar.

something i had considered on mine before starting on it was a mounting system with a shackle on some custom swaybar mounts (diff end) with a locking pin on each shackle... so rather than a quick disconnect, you're instead just allowing the diff to move or not depending on whether its pinned or not...

i had drawings ages ago but cant find them.

Thanks Pete

I thought that might work, i'll have to have a look to see if there is enough room above the axle tube, and use a link between the swaybar and the axle like they do with Jeeps and their swaybar disconnects.

I have a feeling it's going to be pretty tight under there though...
