Sway bar issues

[Octaneforce]

I installed an upgraded roadmaster swaybar on my p30 pos. After torquing everything down the swaybar bushings seem deformed (see pics). Will it operate like this? I feel like no matter what i do this thing just doesnt sit right. The original swaybar had the exact same condition. Im at a loss with this thing.

Round bump stop. Will double check in AM.
Have you checked the ball joints? MHs use an odd size that is not listed in many catalogs. Short stubby ones.
Use prior bar to check A-frame bushings.
I have two installation instructions. One from IPD and on from Roadmaster. Roadmaster is 1109-116

Your bushings on the lower a frame definitely look distorted.
Looks like super steer bell cranks.

Yes thats a super steer bell crank

From the round stop down is 1 1/4 inches
From the square stop up is 2 3/4 inches

Another thing I see is the split bushings mounted to the a-frame. Normally split would be on pedestal mounts and solids would be on a-frame.
what is the Roadmaster IPD part number? Mine is part number 4109-151

The square bump stop? Or the round bump stop?

Part number 1109-116

Have you measured the distance between the rubber bump stop and the crossmember. min of 1.5 inches?
I see blue springs. Are they variable rate replacements? If they are, was the rig weighed prior to ordering? if not variable rate, you need to install the air bags which rig should have had when new.

They are supersteer coil springs that i did so i could eliminate the junk air bags that it came with. I had the rig weighed (with all my stuff in it) and ordered the correct spring rate based on the weight of my front axle. I think it was 5000 pounds.
