Thread: 130 Sway bar meets LR fuel tank...

I have a LRA tank, they provide spacers to drop the mounting point for the sway bay to clear the tank, they are fairly basic and could be made by anyone with some welding skill, they consist of 2 plates welded to some lengths of sqaure tube. I will try and take some pics of mine, mind you my sway be is currently disconnected as i snapped/lost the bolt on one end at some stage in the last week flexing it up in the bush, to be honest i dont feel a lot of difference in body roll.

I was thinking about a spacer, but it's quite a big drop - prb about 150mm. Be great to see some pics, thanks.

Offender90 also has the swaybar spacers on his LR tank.

He said that (re) fitting the swaybar to his 120 made a big difference.

EDIT - you can see the spacers here. They are quite long:

Why don't you just take the sway bar off.
My 04 110 dosent have front or rear ,
never has had from when i bought it , passed tough new Vic RWC no problems, no questions asked.

You don't need them on a Defender in my opinion, 130 may different kettle of fish ??

I saw that pic when searching on here - that looks like exactly the set-up I need. My tank is different but the angles on the sway bar look the same. I was worried that the bar wouldn't work hung that low, but on reflection it shouldn't really matter.

To the welder!

Now that's a nice truck.......ha ha ha

I have a 130 litre longrange tank on my single cab 130, it also has the spacers for the sway bar. One problem I have encountered however is when fully loaded and the suspension is flexing off road the sway bar is rubbing on the bottom of the tank. I suppose an extra half inch in the spacer would prevent this, I just have not got around to doing anything about it.

mine are the same as those pictured, mine is probobly going to "fall off" shortly i can take some better pics then, i am planning on using something like the X-deflex setup on mine instead so i can have reasonable travel keeping on road manners.
