What is the benefit of a tubular sway bar over a solid one?

Tubular sway bars, like this UMI Performance model, offer a good balance of strength and reduced weight compared to solid bars. This construction helps control body roll effectively while minimizing added unsprung weight for improved performance.

Does this sway bar come with everything needed for installation?

This front sway bar includes chassis bushings and end links. However, minor drilling of the A-arms may be required for the heavy-duty end links, and you may need to purchase separate chassis brackets if your truck lacks factory front sway bar mounting points.

Can I use this sway bar with my truck's factory mounting points?

This sway bar is a direct bolt-in for trucks equipped with factory front sway bar mounts. If your truck does not have these factory mounts, UMI offers optional chassis brackets (part numbers 6444 or 6445) that can be purchased separately.

Product Details

This is the UMI Performance 1-3/8 inch tubular front sway bar, designed to fit a range of GM C10 and GMC trucks from the early 70s through the late 80s, like the 1973-1987 C10 Pickup or the 1987 R1500. If you're looking to firm up the front end of your truck and get better control when cornering, this sway bar is a solid upgrade. It's built from US steel and is stiffer than the stock bar, which helps cut down on body roll, especially when you're taking turns or making quick maneuvers.

The tubular construction is a smart choice because it balances strength with a lighter weight compared to a solid bar, helping to maintain good performance without adding unnecessary heft. This sway bar comes with chassis bushings and end links, making it a more complete package for installation. For the best results, UMI suggests pairing it with their 6443 adjustable rear sway bar to create a balanced suspension setup. Keep in mind that some minor drilling might be needed on the A-arms for the heavy-duty end links, and UMI offers optional billet aluminum sway bar mounts if your truck didn't come with factory mounting points.
