Man seeing your build thread and the tools in the pics makes me miss being a machinist and having access to a CNC, lathe and mill not to mention all the other fun tools that come along with a machine shop! Awesome work and awesome fab skills man keep up the good work!

When I flexed the blazer out last time I realized that the rear springs were starting to move toward a negative arc. Rear bump stops were needed. My solution was to simply put a plate on top of the U bolts and use the factory stop. The U bolts have a nut holding the axle in place and a second nut holding the plate on.
Front sway bar was also a concern. I tried the stock one but it would hit the front factory crossmember.
I was able to get a swaybar from a 87 xj and I fabbed up some mounts because it is wider and the straps were rusting though.
Disconnected position.

Swaybar links were next as well as an axle mount.
Picked up some 1" cold rolled mild steel and turned and threaded it for the stock s10 bushings and a wing nut.
The other end of the 1" stock I drilled to fit the T bar cossmember mounts. Then welded them in.
Yes I weld like I drink my tea, with my pinky up. LOL.
Roughed out a plate for the axle mount.
Prettied up the plate a bit with a radius and no sharp points.
