Can someone tell me who sells a kit to box your rear lower arms and add a sway bar. Would like to find a supplier that has the kit complete with the sway. Or is there a better way like getting a compentant welder using his stock metal to fab the job?

John, I think most of the suppliers sell them. Check out OPG.

John,
When I first got my El,I knew I wanted to upgrade the rear and add a sway bar.At the time the price was 275 for the arms and a factory bar,which was out of my budget.
so heres what I did.I bought the factory sway bar new from GMparts direct 65$ shipped.Picked up boxing kit 26$ and sway bar shims/bolt kit 14$ from ground up at the swap meet.Drilled the holes using the dimensions listed here.http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref16.html
Took a trip to visit my brother and use his arc welder,cost me a pan of the wifes lasagna.With hardware it cost me about 120$.
