We have a stock 2013 Silverado 1500. will this sway bar interfere with the spare tire as it comes from the factory?

I just installed this on my 2011 GMC Sierra 4x4 extra cab 1500. The kit comes with 1/2" spacers to allow the links to clear the spare tire. I didn't even remove the spare during the install. However I have a car hoist in my shop. Took about an hour to install. Follow the instructions to a T and you shouldn't have any problems.

It did not on my 2010, but part of a shock tower will need to be ground off...about 1/3 inch on the driver's side, I believe. Be sure you know what you are doing, or have it installed by a shop that has done it before...worked with aftermarket suspension parts.

i have a 2011 gmc sierra sle 4x2 and have this anty sway bar installed on the rear of my truck and have the spare tire on it and it has not blocked access to the spare tire, i already had a flat tire and had to use the spare tire and had no problem accessing it, maybe a little tight access but nothing i couldnt deal with.

Yes, you will need to remove the factory hooks. That is where the brackets for the bull-bar connects.

Not with stock wheels & tires. If you put larger tires on stock wheels the wider tire will make contact with the rear sway bar endinks.

It does not need a sway bar. The bars that are part of the hitch will work to lessen the sway.

On my 05 I'm running 32" tires and I trimmed my fenders so it wouldn't rub at full flex with the sway bar disconnected. But if your not planning on disconnecting your sway bar then you can get away with 33's.

Hi, thats part of the generic tear down instructions, most of the time you only have an issue if you're doing a dual exhaust and you have a slightly larger than stock spare tire. The 5" singles never really seem to have any problem with that.

Hi, and thanks for your interest in our kits. You will notice there are a few different answers in the comment section. I would recommend getting a transfer case drop with this kit to correct any sort of vibration issues. I've personally never had any one need extended sway arm links, however, Jeeps are one of the most popular vehicles to mod, and there are customers who may find themselves in need of an extended sway arm link depending on their setup. I hope this is helpful, and if you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a message.

The sway bar link fits either side but at such a reasonable price why not replace both sides. They are more heavy duty than the factory links and have grease fittings.

no. it is held in place with 3x 14mm strut mount nuts at the inner wheel arch (fenderwell) and 2x 22mm nut/bolt combos at the steering knuckle/spindle and is connected to the sway bar link by way of a 19mm nut. I'd give you instructions, but if you need to ask, you shouldn't do it. there's too much risk of error and serious injury in disassembly of a vehicle's suspension and the consequences of steering or suspension failure from erroneous reassembly are far too serious for an amateur to consider doing the work.a car is a 4000lb machine in motion on springs. get a professional to do it. with respect, Mr. d'Alessandro, that's the best advice. no. it is held in place with 3x 14mm strut mount nuts at the inner wheel arch (fenderwell) and 2x 22mm nut/bolt combos at the steering knuckle/spindle and is connected to the sway bar link by way of a 19mm nut.

I am not sure if it will cause problems. But the guard doesn't hook up to anything in the middle of the truck. The mounting points on the bottom is at the frame rails.

don't know why you ordered, but I have a '08 HHR which is just a cobalt underneath the frame..I had a clunk in the front end, so ordered the sway bar kit..turned out not to be the sway bar, but a problem inherant with the cobalts/HHR steering. as for the bushings..mine came complete with bushings.

The only issue I had with this, was the screws on each of the sides. At first they would hit my factory roof rack bars when I would go over a bump. I placed a small piece of electrical tape over the screw and the problem was solved. The item may be wider than your factory rack so you may not have that issue.

I am really not sure but when I put my sway bar on I made sure it was as straight as possible so using air bags would of never of worked and in all honesty I am not sure how bags and a sway bar would work toghter cause the bags would be fighting the sway bar, as soon as you put air in the bags they in turn would put a ton of pressure on the sway bar and I am not really sure what would happen next but I really don't thing it would be good.

Yes, this kit comes with inner and outer tie rods for both sides. And Yes these are a lot bigger than stock. I had to buy extended sway bar links when I put these on my truck because these are bigger they would sometimes contact the sway bar. I didn't see any on amazon but if you type in " silverado extended sway bar end links" on eBay you'll see them. You'll only need the ones extended 1". They should be around $50

Sway bar bushings would be installed separately. New bushings aren't required when replacing the links. The links go on the end of the sway bar, while the bushings hold the bar to the body. If new bushings are required use the ones for your vehicle and check whether they are the front or rear bushings.

No one is ok but if you have the hitch that has 2 bars that hook to the side of trailer body and have safety pins you dont need sway bar.

The bar is made specifically to the make & model of your truck. Do not cut.
