Will this combo work or now. The install pics look just like how the eibach bar attaches.

Addco doesn't make a tie bar. That's an addco sway bar with a self made tie bar.

If you have the newer designed Addco bars..... aka the ones from the GP.
Then yes, you can use the same tiebar as the eibach.

Yes it does for with the newer designed addco bars.
I made a post showing how the older addco bars (the addco version on that site) are a little longer and wouldn't fit the Eibach designed bar.

So if you were asking:

Meaning what material/parts do you need. What lengths. Etc.
Then that's not what I inturpueted as being asked.

I can help you out with the parts maybe.
If you feel like gettin infor from a moron.

Okee,

Yeah basically, head over to
http://www.rodendsupply.com
The site is one giant pdf file, so just call the number on there to order.

You want to order a 'radius rod'.
They have them in aluminum and now stainless.
Measure mounting hole to mounting hole on the sway bar i think is 40.5"
So you want to get a 38.5" bar. (or 38")

Either #6826-xx or #6836-xx. One is 3/4" thick the other is 7/8" thick.

Get two of the heim links with jam nuts.
Dont need the most expensivest ones.

Then mount and you're good to go.

They are good with shipping and are flexable with delivery options n stuff.

Hope this help ya out some.
And others since I know it will be asked again.

Peace out,
-M

4 years and counting on the trailblazer tie bar deal event. the people who say not to do it are the people who dont have it.

not a bad investment for 8$ i thought.

i got all the parts to make a custom rear tie bar at my work, like them rod ends, tubing and i can weld it all up nice. but why waste my time.

i;ve tried the straight bar stuff... and theres no comparison. like said,the suspension moves, theres a need for heim joints...plain and simple.


and with the method i posted, there is no welding involved PERIOD.


if one can claim to weld, but cant screw two heim joints into a PRE-THREADED rod........well i'll let that speak for itself....


you;ve had the "trailblazer subframe brace" trying to act as a tie bar....yet you;ve never tried a real tie bar....

even Control FX designed it with heim joints. its been around since around when suspension parts started to come out for j's....and it wasnt welded then.

no tie bar has ever needed welds....

like its always been said, theres a right and wrong way to do things... half assin things may be a bandaid on a broken leg, but i'd rather have something thats been race proven. same reason why i dont run cheap arse coilovers anymore either

Very informative and very doable but one hitch. I have the Progress rear sway bar and that's of a different design than the Addco (and from the looks of things, the Hellwig as well). I'll probably need to post pics of the attachment point of the bar... anyone attempt to rig a tie bar w/ that sway bar?
