Screw Swaybar
Anyone know if the swaybar from a Lightning or Expy will fit on the new Screw?
Need to hear from someone who has actually done this, not who thinks it can be done because these vehicles are very similar but there are subtle differences.

Dan,
I don't know about the front bar, but the arms on rear bar of a stock Lightning point to the rear and attach to the frame extension. On a SCrew, the frame is not long enough to accomodate the L-bar.
As for the front, some of the Lightning owners are shopping for a stronger bar. You might find out exactly why in the Suspension or Lightning section (search).

I bought a Lightning rear sway bar for my '00 F-150 and no way it would fit. I had to sell it back to Ford for 100 bucks less than I paid for it. Couldn't sell it on Ebay or here either. The bar has bad a$$ clamps that go around the axle. Right where the brake lines are. I ended up getting a Hellwig insted and ran into a similar problem but the clamps were regular U-bolts so I was able to make it work. Good luck.
