You might want to give a little more info as to exactly what you are asking.... What sort of beam? How narrowed? If I'm not mistaken, the guys running extremely narrowed beams, 5"+ pretty much dont run either. I'm not sure if anyone even makes a sway bar narrower than 2"?
Personally, I have 2" narrowed beams on two of my cars and run dampers and sway bars.

On my 4" narrowed beam, I ended up cutting a stock width one and sleeving it in the center. I didn't like the idea of nothing up there holding the arms in place.

If narrowed it depends on who made it. The stock damper bracket can be moved over and is just like stock. I believe around 5 inch it may not have enough space. I've only seen 2 inch sway bars. When narrowing the springs become more stiff so most don't run one.
Sway bar doesn't hold arms in place. |
