This seemed like a dumb idea initially but it worked out better than I thought! New sway bar spacers from a 1” thick cutting board. $25 for the board on amazon!

Yeah the Roadmaster sway bar is 1-1/8” thick and my diff cover sticks out a bit more than stock so I needed 1”. Banks makes spacers but $40.

Some quick cuts and we were back in business with my RMI bar!

Ain’t no laws when you’re drinking claws!!

So any details on how you removed the emblem? Did you pull the grill off?
Oh hell naw!!
And yeah so all I used were plastic pry tools that you’d typically use for interior trim pieces. You’re gunna feel like you’re gunna break them, but you won’t. They went back on easy, just snap em in

Did you by chance grab any pictures of the backs so we know where the clips are?

Unfortunately no pics of the backs, but here’s what it looked like with them off, you can see where the clips went. The horizontal style clips come out fairly easy, but those two circle shaped clips on each letter were the tough ones. That’s where I leveraged my pry tool. If you break those circle stye ones, I wouldn’t really sweat it because the horizontal clips hold them in very well by themselves. I was surprised how well the letters were held in there
