you still need to get the AWR reinforcing/relocating sway bar brackets
it's clear your sway bar was rubbing on the crossmember

where the relocating brackets go in line with the crossmember bolts the bar is angled, already looked into that.
the bar was hitting until I changed to the longer bj1 endlinks and it no longer hits.

it just lowers the bar slightly, so how does it make the bar angled?

Edwin on post 65 you will see there is a bend in the bar before it bends for the ends resulting in an angle that wont work as a mounting/bushing point.
