Here is the install of a rear sway bar for my Tiger. It uses a standard micro/mini sprint 28" bar with 1.125" offset arms which match up almost perfect to my spring mounting brackets. Pillow blocks are spherical bearing an allow chassis flex and mounting errors to be highly tolerated :D

Most all the parts are off the shelf. If you are doing this on a stock tiger you will have to do something with the leaf spring brackets as well as possible fuel pump interference (That pump has to go for any hipo app anyways).

Other then that just a lot of measuring and and some use of the Rivnut tool. Blue tape will be your friend when trying to get the nuts up and in the chassis. The nuts that will be used are nice shoulder locking nuts from McMaster Carr so no fuddling around with the washer when the final install is done.
