If i were to shim my factory swaybar on my 68 camaro 1/2”-1” off the subframe do you also need to trim back the end links? I need a little extra room for a pulley.

Same me question for a Ridetech musclebar. I may go this rout if you can shim these down too. Anyone shim one of these?

It’s not an uncommon call we get. The bigger diameter crank pulley can cause clearance issues with the sway bar (especially the bigger diamter bars). It normally doesn’t take too big of a shim to get the clearance needed so the endlinks don’t get too out of whack. At ride height, you want them to go into the control arm/sway bar with no angle on them. If you see them looking bound up and at an angle, then modify the length of them. I’ve had a few customers shim ours with no issue as well.
