    sway bar ? which one?

    Was looking at Summit at the 55905,Is this a retrofit or factory replacement.My control arms don't have any tabs.It looks like it comes w/shock bolt tabs but doesn't say in the description.I might run up to Summit tomorrow night and pick it up.Luckily I'm only about 30mi from there.
