I would not weld that...if you do as a get by method make sure whomever does it gussets the hell out of it.
I dont wanna weld it (i dont think it would hold up) i wanna maybe find a new bracket somewhere.....I mean, its only 2 bolts on the bottom that hold it on...
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Is that a stock part or is it something from Fabtech from your lift?
I dont know if thats a stock part, of if its something part of the lift kit...

best thing to do is look at jays and see if its any dif or just take his lol
so you think its a stock part...not a part of the lift kit...
I didnt mean like stock like do they have it in the warehouse, I meant like it is an original part of the truck, and wasnt a part of the Fabtech lift kit

from what i read on the fabtech site those come with the lift kit, im sure you can call and order just those 2 pieces from them, or goto a local place that fabs parts like that, although most places buy all there kits...

That's definitely part of the lift. If you bought the lift yourself, you shouldn't have any problem getting FabTech to send you a replacement

We found couple places online that sell the fabtech Sway Bar brackets for about $24 each + shipping..pt# FF44005 and FF44006....lthey are the ones I arrowed to in my pic earlier in the thread, they move front sway bar mounting location up off the lower control arm.

WOW thats a cheesy ass looking part. I would have somebody fab you up something that looks a little better and WAY stronger. You would think fabtec could come up with something a little better for the type of coin they charge.

ill agree they do look like they are halfassed made....

I would try to pick up a second pair somewhere and take them to a machine shop and see if they can put a couple gussets under the lip where the sway bar attaches to the brackets...

Kev-O.. Want me to make you a pair? 1/4" plate steel... Something that's made for truck's, not toy's.
