Ok, awhile back I put on the c3fab ext rear lower control arms and noticed my stabilizer/sway bar covered one of my grease certs. So to remedy this I decided to buy the UMI relocation brackets and move my stabilizer bar from the bottom to the top of lower control arms. While this was good in theory, it doesn't work with fully boxed control arms. A couple issues, first and probably most problematic is that the stabilizer bar ends up resting right up against the axle, second the bar has a bit of curvature so when you place it on top you have the shim the rear hole so that the bar can sit flush with the control arm. Shimming a stabilizer bar just sounds like disaster to me but maybe I'm just over cautious. Anyway, so very close but I'll be pulling the brackets off tomorrow and will just be getting used to the 6 month ritual of removing my stabilizer bar to grease my bushings. I'll have some relocation brackets for sale soon if anyone is interested, $50 or best offer. And if I would have done a little more research UMI shows right on their website that the relocation brackets don't work even with their fully boxed lowers.
