Thuren swaybar. Compatible steering box brace?

Post by rbpowerwagon » Wed Jun 29, 2016 12:41 pm

Just finished installing a thuren swaybar and this thing is awesome! Anyways the problem I have now is my old DT Profab steering box brace won't fit. Does anyone know of a brace that will work?

Why won't it fit?

I have a Creative Fabworks brace, fits just fine, and looks identical to the DT Profab from Internet pics.

The old sway bar had an offset in it that went around the brace. New swaybar interferes.

Any brace made for a regular 2500 will work just fine. I had to loose my DT profab brace when I switched to a Carli bar as well.

Good choice! Fit and finish are very nicely done on the CF brace.
