I have one, I had a guy out in California make my beam and he made a 4" narrowed sway bar for me, he took a bugpack 3/4" front ball joint sway bar, cut 4" out of the center, and then sleeved the center section and straightened and welded the sleeve. If you are interested, you can email me at [email protected] and I can send pictures
Also you can go to Aircooled.net, and get an "over the top" sway bar, they offer them for ground clearence, and 4" Narrowed beam, there is also a company in Canada that sells custom narrow sway bars, but they start like at $250 i think
Good Luck, let me know

You can just use a 3" narrowed bar. It will work, just push it in further. You may need to cut off a half an inch or an inch from the tips.
