So i got the bags mounted up on the front end of the mighty max. No im trying to figure out what im gonna do with the sway bar and the stabilizer bars from underneath the rad support. Any suggestions ?

you can go w/o the sway bar, the radius arms should be able to bolt back where they were originally, or ive seen ppl run the to the back with a rod end on them and mounting tabs to the frame.
in this pic, id also address 2 more things:
1)gussets on the upper bag bracket.
2)gussets over the frame where it was cut for the body drop. whats there isnt enough in my eyes.

hey thanks for the reply bryan. the front clip is just temporary rite now so its only tached on there. I do have guzzets cut for it tho. and i also have the gussets cut for the bag plates, there just not on yet. Im thinking i may put the radius arms under the CA insted of on top since the bars themselves are 3 inches lower then they originally were.

right on man.
you could def put them under the LCA. looks like you might have to heat them up witht he torch and bend the end up a bit for the bar to sit flush on the bottom of the arm. but that should work out for ya. might also want to check that the front mounts for the radius bars wont keep you from laying flat.
my buddy just b/d a hardbody and made the lowers into a-arms to alleviate all these problems.

yea, unfortunatly no one makes anything for this front end. but then again its kinda a good thing. what im doind is my design. its all done as we go. its more fun that way, may drive you to drinking but its the best way. thanks again for the input! its good to know people on this site will rear and help you out when they can

dude you are preaching to the choir. i gaurantee they make more parts for your truck than mine! therefore, i make my shit as needed. tried goin thru others to get the parts i need, lets just say i got burned pretty bad. so im just stuck doing everything myself. which is fine, except when you want your truck on the road again, work 25+ hours a week and go to college full time for engineering. not to mention the truck is 2 hours away at my parents place. good luck bro. oh and heres a pic of what my boy did. this is NOT his work, but a pic of similar setup.

well i would make a totally different suggestion is you still only have the fron frame tacked still. put those frame horns back to where they are sapose to be factory so they are not body droped. and the cut off to the side where the core support mounts the the frame, do the drop there and then just your actual frame horns in front of the core support, that way all of your sway bar and strut rods are in the exact same place and it doesnt change anything. this is how i did mine and it worked great, sway bar is bolted right back up with new sway bar links not a single issue and same as the strut rods, bolt right up with new bushing. just some fuel for thought.

i cant do what brian did. i dont have the room he does. I have manual steering and the gearbox is rite there. And on the pass side the idler arm is rite there too. There is no room for that tube steek off the lower CA.
