Rear Sway bar on a lowered truck

I've recently installed a Belltech 3/5 drop on my '08 SCAB and would now like to add a rear sway bar, any reason why this won't work?? Or, any thoughts regarding improvement in handling, or even installation, from someone who may have done this??

i dont understand drops that well, but i dont think it will be an issue... hopefully someone a little more knowledgeable in drops chimes in.

Some don't work on dropped trucks and they make special versions. From my own research I think the bell tech one is fine and is what I'll be getting this spring. It reduces body roll and improves handling as a result.

Depends on where it mounts. If its infront or behind the axle it shouldn't matter, but if it mounts ontop of the axle you might not have space for it between the axle and frame

I was looking at the Belltech setup, it looks like it mounts toward the front of the axle.

Belltech have one for flipped axle, and one for stock axle.
I received mine for my 3/5 dropped 07, but didn't have time to install it yet.
Got it from Autoanything by the forum seller.

Thanks Patrick. That is a different part number than I was going to order. Nice Save! Maybe someday I can repay the favor.
