Pics of widefoot spacers that return the front swaybar to stock level
Just a nicely machine chunk of aluminum from Widefoot.
Looks nice and gets the swaybar more to the stock level. Just posting pics for anyone interested.

Bob, take the bolts out of the sway bar arms where they mount to the tubes and flip them so the heads are on the bottom. With them as they are they hang even lower and are easier to scrape. Once they do scrape the threads are buggered and it's a pain to remove. Scraping the heads on the pavement won't matter. I'd get rid of the zerks in the bar bushings too for the same reason (will your undertray even fit with them?). You don't need them anyway.
I replace those bolts as needed on my car as they act as skid plates on my daily driver. Ask Jacqueline about me blowing past her at night on Hebron and the swell shower of sparks as I hit a bump

hmm the zerks came with the bar. I'll take another look when I get under the car again.
With the bar being lower, I'll have to double check the clearance with the undertray too....hmmmmmmm

Hi 7racer,
Glad the mounts and the spacer's are working out for you.
Sounds like Damon had some good advice, too. There's advantages to
multi-piece bars, but where possible I'll use a single for fitment and
reliability. I can see how the spacers are needed with this bar/arm
combo.

Here's another advantage of that extra chunk of Al: it allows you to relocate the radiator. A couple of years ago, I dropped the radiator a couple of inches in order to open up the entire area above it for a custom IC duct. I had made some radiator mounting plates for the stock sway bar mount which never fit all that well. To my surprise, the mounting plates included with the Widefoot mounts fit the radiator relocation perfectly when placed between the spacer and the bar rather than between the mount and the spacer. Thanks Dave.
Damon, if I turn my sway-bar bolts over, they poke holes in my brake ducts.
