Look for Baja Ron on the home page. And also get his billet links......you won't be sorry. And no a dealer doesn't have to do it. It is a DIY job if your handy!

You need the ability to lift your Spyder . . . my 2013 RT had to be about 20" off the ground to be able to replace the Sway Bar . . . it was done by a friend in his garage, lifted by a plain old hydraulic floor jack and supported by jack stands.

Here is a pic from when it was done

Installation difficulty depends on year and model. It varies. Many have done the install themselves.

You can get me at fyredad@hotmail.com (fyredad@hotmail.com)

I'm sure I can find a sway bar with our name on it! :rolleyes:

Using that blanket will only make you old before your time.

As Einstein said, 'Everything is relative.' To me, you're just a young fellow.

My dealer installed my sway bar in about 30 minutes. I watched the tech and it was definitely money well spent.:doorag:

Something was very wrong... :dontknow:

Sometimes when the dealer does not know what they are doing... the customers pays.
