I'm using the Hotchkis ( other brands have the same design) rear sway bar and it mounts below the rear end solving exhaust clearance issues and it doesn't matter what width rear end it will bolt to them all just the same. It has 3 holes for different rate settings also. If your looking for originality it's not the option but..... :2cents:

I'm also interested in knowing what end links to use as I'm considering a B Body rear in the Barracuda myself.  End links for a specific make/model would be great, otherwise how much extra length are we talking about .5"?  .75"? etc. for a total length of ???  If somebody here has already done this it would be great to know what works.  Thanks.
       I have +2" leafs, so 2"-3" longer, common Energy Sp. auto store stock, for the offset attachment of the links, but it will depend on your distance to the frame. I put the weight of the body up, by using short stands and no tire. Then you will see the bars area it has to clear and center it.
   I think the bar is extra attachment point for the body to  axle. It tugs down on the body to force a squat. It also does all the other stuff the guys said too. I look at the instant center principal it uses to stabilize the car.

My car had a rear sway bar from the factory...does this set up use the same holes already in the frame or do you have to use their set up and put more holes in the frame????
