    I am getting ready to order my rear sway bar, but really don't want the red under my truck. I'm guessing just sand it, alcohol it, and paint it. Question is will a touch up paint hold up? Here is a link to the paint kit I was considering. http://www.paintscratch.com/neworder/store/item/spukit/Spray-Paint-Kit/
    Really think that blue would look good under there.

    Thanks. Yeah, wonderful northeast road salt. Hoping someone else already tried something similar. If I have to redo it every 2-3 years no worries, but if it will be shredded in less than a year, no bueno. I was also thinking colored paint on bedliner may hold up better.

    Sorry for the dumb question, but can this be installed with a lift?

    I have seen other's use it with a lift. I believe you need longer bolts or shackles or something like that.

    Getting ready to have a pro comp 4in put on next week. Nothing big just alittle more height than stock. It fits my needs and 35s perfect for me. I'd like to add the sway bar in the future due to all the praise i've seen people give it for the increased handling it gives. But i'm not sold on it yet. Just asking around.

    I've seen people out sway bars on 3/1 levels....you MIGHT be just fine with a 4". Not completely sure though

    Nice, How long ago did you have it done? Looks like it's holding up pretty good.
