How to install an early 620 sway bar on a ball joint 620.

Basically not too complicated, the camper version actually came with a sway bar so all of the ball joint 620's already have all the mounting locations. For some reason they were no longer stock, a camper one should be a direct bolt on.
But if you can't find a camper one, a sway bar from an early 620 is almost a direct bolt on. The only real mod needed is a longer sway bar end link you can buy right off the shelf at the auto parts store. I got the longest one they had on stock which was an energy suspension 4 5/8"-5 1/8" which is barely enough to clear the tie rods. I'd actually recommend the 5 1/4"- 5 3/4" just to be safe. After I installed my new sway bar I felt a huge improvement in cornering, it's completely worth the effort.

Installed!

Ball joint 620's don't have sway bars stock?
That's odd.

When I scrapped the 620 in my yard that is one of the few parts I kept.

Yea lol seems weird they stopped putting them on stock. At least all the mounting holes are on the frame tho

Good call on saving the sway bar!

Always thought I could find a way to use it somewhere.
I hope I still have it. Made a scrap run a few weeks ago.
Yikes.

Pretty much what I've found from a little research. I tried the original bolts for the sway bar ends and it hit the tie rods horribly. I was able to find longer ones on the shelf at the auto parts store that worked perfectly. They were right there in the isle by aftermarket tacks and stuff. I also got polyurethane bushings which probably helps as well.

I just went out and made sure I had the sway bar!
