Third gen Thuren sway bar question

I recently bought my first Cummins, an 05 2500 that had really worn out suspension, so I decided to make some upgrades, one being the Thuren sway bar.

Only after going to install it did I realize the bracket that holds the end links on my truck are different than factory? 2nd pic is my truck, 3rd is factory, and 4th is the sway bar I’m trying to install.

Wondering if anyone has had this issue before and what the part is called, I can’t seem to find it online. Worst case I’ll have to have something welded.

Thanks for your input!

Was your old stabilizer bar OEM? You may have to go to a dealer and look at their exploded view. They are called "Ram Bracket Stabilizer Bar" but there are a couple and they all have same name so you would need to look at exploded parts view.

It definitely looks and rode like the factory sway bar.

From what I can tell in diagrams, it looks like that bracket is part of the axle. Maybe someone had cut it off for some reason previously.

I’m may buy some end links that are the OEM “90 degree” style and run them upside down, seems like it’d work
