Sway Bar Question?

I just put a 1-1/8" Addco bar on my '74 Duster with great results. It handles like a totally different car - noticeable oversteer with no body roll whatsoever. I had to get the front end WAY up in the air in order to get it threaded through the K-member. At one point I thought it was not going to fit. But after I got it high enough (wheels hanging down about two feet off the ground) it finally had enough clearance to go in.
