Sway bar relocation plates?

I've seen them mentioned in the aftermarket suspension thread but no names of manufacturers. I've had a quick google search and I can't find anything. Anyone know or recommend sway bar/arb relocation plates for the Gen 8. Need to gain some clearance for a 2" lift kit.

They only list theirs as 05+ which means they won't fit the N80.

May be the same?
Where is the clearance you need, I just fitted a 2" kit and it comes close to the strut base but cant see anywhere else, is there somewhere they come in contact?

This is full droop when sat on the lift. It looks too close and I wanted a few more mms to be safe.

And not very good photos but this is the bracket supplied.

I was talking to a bloke at a suspension place today and he said SR and SR5 may have different sway bar diameters? not sure if the D shackles are also different

I have the same problem! But it turns out that the day that I installed the sway bar was well away from the shocks, then I took camber/caster and went on a trip started to rub the sway bar on the shocks. Those are my king shocks.
Mine already came the support for the reservoir that replaces the sway bar but it is still rubbing. Was it the regulation of the caster that caused this event to occur?

When I rode it was perfect then I went to test the shock absorbers and I ramped there the other day I went to travel and began to rub

I managed to keep distance from the sway bar with the dampers making a regulation on the caster/camber. It was very good! If you already have the sway bar relocation, just adjust the caster and it's already good!
I would like to post the changes on my truck but it seems very difficult to post photos here.

Can anyone confirm what the centre to centre measurement is for the Gen 8 sway bar bolts on the chassis?
I have been sent sway bar relocation plates that measures 85mm between centres - Confident that they are for 2016+

Gen 7 chassis centres are closer to 75mm

Just had a quick measure with bash plates on

ARB BP51s Front Installation Kit might be overkill for some.
But it replaces the lower radiator supports (to make more room) and then pushes the sway bar forward to provide extra clearance to the strut assembly (been a while but think it moves forward the whole assembly maybe a 1” or so.)
