I got really tired of messing with the thin metal in the frame that holds the factory sway bar "U" brackets. Very easy to have the fasteners strip out the hole in the frame when you install the larger diameter sway bars.

I did the "remove the bumper" and using a very long pair of needle nose pliers could install the bolts thry the frame after I added a lock washer to the fastener inside the frame. Works ok but a pia if you do not want to remove the bumper.

Then a friend tipped me off to Rivnuts and Nutserts.
You might want to look at the video below.
Now the frame is supported by the rivnuts and the fasteners screw in FROM THE BOTTOM.

EASY AS CAN BE TO INSTALL THE BAR AND A MUCH STRONGER SET-UP.
