The way mine is set up is like this : I made a new plate with a different hole pattern or spacing (appearently the 1 ton has wider springs than a 1/2 ton). I removed the two front u-bolt nuts, leaving the shock mount plate right where it was and placed the sway bar plate onto the u-bolts and then reblaced the nuts that I took off. The sway bar ends are attached to the new plate with two rods and some neoprane bushings. If you are installing on a stock 1/2 ton , you probably don't need to make a plate. Try PB Blaster (walmart) or Kroil on the nuts before you work on them; let the oil soak a few days if they are really stuck.Don
