what about ROUSH? Or is the benefit from adding GT's very minimal if going to these?

Is there an extra kit you can buy that has all the hardware for the install, instead of going to lowes or home depot?

This is the kind of thing I hate about a lot of aftermarket companies. They are notorious for not supplying everything you need to install the items they sell and a lot of times the instructions they send with the items are either a joke or nonexistent. Did they even provide you any torque settings Potato? I can't imagine a sway bar is just a hand tightened item.

Well from NTO the sway bar was most likely replaced with a better one and thats why you're buying the takeoff one, therefor they still used to mounting hardware so it wouldn't come with the sway bar.

I think this will probably my next upgrade. Would it be best to get the replacement front GT sway bar, or just put on the rear one?? They have a combo package with both of them, that's really reasonably priced. I've purchased the wheel/tire combo, and the GT take-off duals, from NTO, and have been happy with both. The hardware shouldn't be a problem, but where do you purchase the poly bushing???

Combo pack or the rear will be over swayed and the front will be under swayed.

That's kind of what I've been thinking, and if I get them both, the shipping will probably be a little cheaper than if I ended up getting them separately. Thanks for the feedback.....

So the GT front is an upgrade over the base front V6 front sway?
