well as anyone knows on the mazda to have to remove your sway bar to bag your truck. ive bagged more than a few rides in my life time, and after driving my truck last night, i just really just want to be able to drive it hard into corners. i have 4 valves up front, so the air doesnt transfer from bag to bag but it still kinda sways a little bit. has anyone ever reinstalled their swaybars on their maz after baggin it? maybe make some new mounts on the upper controll arm and run it infront of the motor, something other than on the lower controll arm. im tring to get my 302 ready to put in my mazda and i really would like it to handle better, and i know with the added weight im gonna have more corner weight. anyone out there know or have done it or seen someone install the sway bar on the front of a bagged b-series?

Ive seen one mazda with the stock sway bar still in place, and it was bagged.

Was using a totally stock sway bar setup, but it was running Slam 5" wide bags, and they were mounted more towards the rear of the truck on the lower control arm if that makes sense.

They were mounted just far enough backward so they didnt foul on the sway bar mounts.

And he had to wind out his "lock to lock" adjustment on the spindle where it hits the lower arm. Only reason this was done was to make sure the brake caliper and lines didnt contact the bag.

Sorry I dont have any pics, but hopefully this might get you started.

i get so much lift in the front end, when i put my sway bar back on it locked the front end of my truck out and didnt raise as high.

yea i feel the same way. im putting mine back in soon. just going to make new tabs and mount them out of the way from the bag. gonna make some new trailing rods that does not come in contact with the sway bar as well

Cant remember the guys name, but on ssm I think I saw a singlecab mazda with a v8 (cant remember which stable ford or GM) with front and rear sway bars, BD, and a narrowed rear clip with insanely wide tyres.

Maybe ask that guy, if you know who Im on about.
