I was wanting to put on a steering box brace to strengthen that area but I don't know if it will fit. I have an 8" suspension lift on a shorty conversion and had to relocate my sway bar with drop brackets so the horizontal part of my sway bar is 3-4 inches lower than the stock position. Does anyone have sway bar drop brackets and a steering box brace or know if they will work together? They only cost about $60-80 bucks but I wanted to see what you guys say so I don't waste money on something that won't fit.

It will work just fine. I have a brace with my lift with swaybar drop brackets.

Do you have sway bar drop brackets as part of your lift or did you just run longer end links?

 

[Fern]

Stock end links. Drop brackets only.

Sweet...that's exactly what I needed to know! I'm gonna do it then...thanks for that info. 👍

The brace uses the same bolt locations as the swaybar brackets. The brackets will will go on top of the brace and use the same bolts to attach to the frame. The brace will be sandwiched between the frame and the brackets if that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. I was looking at some pictures of them installed on stock trucks and saw the horizontal part of the sway bar above the crossbar on the brace and was thinkin mine won't be above it like theirs, mine sway bar would have to be below the brace crossbar. Just didn't know if there was room for it to do that. But I know now...👍

Yep, it will work.

have you installed the steering box brace with the drop brackets? does the horizontal part of the sway bar sit below the brace now? i have some simple drop brackets off amazon to correct the end link angle and i want to know if i can get a steering box brace and keep the drop brackets. if you got any pictures please drop em below 👍🏻
